Demon in the Pulpit — Sarah Mason

Demon in the pulpit is a book of essays journaling my survival of childhood abuse at the hands of my father.The book chronicles the loss of my innocence, a happy childhood, and my RN career all caused by the combination of my fathers mental illness, abuse, addictions, and years of seminary. My father tried to run from his demons by moving us all across this country and bouncing back and forth from different religions to drinking, drugs, and women.Each chapter is a snapshot of an account followed by coping skills learned through a wonderful therapist, changing my life!
