Bessey was raised in a devout Christian home, and she spent most of her life as a faithful member of the church. But as she got older, she began to question some of the teachings and practices of the church. She found herself struggling with the church's stance on homosexuality, its treatment of women, and its emphasis on dogma over compassion.

After years of wrestling with her doubts, Bessey finally made the decision to leave the church. It was a difficult decision, but it was one that she felt was necessary for her own spiritual growth.

In Leaving Church, Bessey shares her story with honesty and vulnerability. She writes about the pain and confusion she felt as she left the church, but she also writes about the hope and freedom she found in the process.

Bessey's memoir is a must-read for anyone who has ever questioned their faith. It is a powerful and moving story that will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to think deeply about what it means to be a person of faith.
