Where Do I Belong?: A Memoir - Paperback

by Sarah Carrington (Author)

Escaping a religious commune at thirteen.
Homeless before adulthood.
A true story of resilience, survival, and finding where you truly belong.

Born and raised in a strict religious community, Sarah Carrington knew nothing about the outside world. Everything she ate, wore, read, and did was governed by the beliefs of the community she would later come to recognize as a cult.

As a child, Sarah spent most of her time in nature with her survival-enthusiast parents, learning how to endure harsh seasons with few supplies. But after her father died in a tragic accident, her world began to unravel.

When adolescence changed the way some men viewed her, Sarah made a desperate decision. At thirteen years old, she fled the commune-alone, unprepared, and with little education or support. On the brink of homelessness, her innocence pulled her into a dangerous world of exploitation, addiction, and survival.

Yet through trauma, loss, and unimaginable challenges, Sarah refused to give up.

By the age of twenty-three she had become an orphan, pregnant, a stepmother, and guardian to her younger siblings.

But the world wasn't done with her yet.
