At the crossroads of personal rupture and global reckoning, this book chronicles one woman’s journey from the silence of child/clergy sexual abuse to speaking at the United Nations. In prose both raw and luminous, the author traces her battle escaping an abusive marriage after her public disclosure of childhood abuse, and her unlikely ascent through Harvard Divinity School to a doctoral candidate at the University of Edinburgh. Woven through these pages are the voices that steadied her—David F. Holland, her brother, God, and ancestors—and the convictions that drive her: that religious institutions must be held to account, that parish archives belong to the people they record, and that healing is a right, not a privilege. Moving between the LDS and Italian Catholic hierarchies, she exposes systems that prize reputation over moral ethics, even as she insists on staying in the “trenches” to help remake them. Part memoir, part manifesto, this book invites readers into a spiritual commons where transcendence is shared, not gated; where genealogies mend broken stories; and where the long-suppressed testimonies of survivors bend the moral arc toward justice. It is, ultimately, a call to listen, believe, and act. For more information on Suzie E. Greco and her story, visit her website: The Stone Sphere.
