Spotlight: Finding Sunlight: A Coming-Of-Age Memoir about Love Within the Wreckage of Purity Culture by Chrissy Holm

In Chrissy Holm’s inspirational coming-of-age memoir, “Finding Sunlight," she separates the pressures of purity culture from all the possibilities of meaningful love. Homeschooled at church and raised by a devout father, Chrissy suppressed her bisexuality and followed all the teachings of purity culture. But when she turned sixteen, her parent’s divorce flipped the script. Devastated and unsure of her values, Chrissy embarked on a long journey until she figured out just exactly who she is and what she believes in. Raw and hopeful, this liberating memoir is an intimate look at figuring out how to forgive–and love–after purity culture.
