Description
The Deviant Daughter by Suzanne Beth Jordan
At eleven, she touched the Infinite. In a single, transcendent moment of spiritual oneness, the world was whole. But that light was quickly eclipsed by a family in free fall and a home that became a battlefield.
At fifteen, she was discarded. For the “sin” of a single kiss with another girl, she was branded deviant and exiled to
Omega House–a brutal drug treatment program within the
troubled teen industry designed to dismantle children through psychological warfare. Cast out by her family and shattered by
institutional abuse, she was left adrift in a world with no place to call home.
At nineteen, she sought a sanctuary. Desperate to reclaim the spiritual belonging of her childhood, she fell into the embrace of a
religious cult led by
Yogi Bhajan. What promised to be a haven of healing soon became a prison of absolute control–one where spiritual, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse were demanded as a price for devotion.
The Deviant Daughter: Outcast, Rebel, Survivor is the harrowing true story of a decade spent in exile. From the trauma of state-sanctioned abuse to the high-stakes planning of a
cult escape, this is a powerful
memoir of LGBTQ+ survival against the odds. It is a journey through the darkest corners of faith and family, and the ultimate triumph of a woman who refused to stay broken.
