Samenvatting:
"We are all mad here."For twenty years, Kenna lived inside a dream she didn't create. She was the primary voice and visual storyteller for Evermore Church, a thriving, inclusive community that promised a "Disneyland" for the soul.Recruited for her creativity and trained into the role of a loyal "Armor Bearer," Kenna was entrusted with intensifying the expansive vision of her Senior Pastor, Austin Bradley. But beneath the polished stage lights and the promises of spiritual purpose, a meticulously crafted labyrinth of coercive control was being built.In Unmasking Wonderland, the scales finally fall.Through the thematic lens of Alice in Wonderland, Karen documents the subject's harrowing descent into a world where logic was inverted, kindness was treated as treason, and absolute surrender to the architect at the top was the only currency. This is a raw, factual exploration of how even the most educated and visionary minds can be groomed into complicity within a high-control group.The heart of this story belongs to the silenced:Red: A twelve-year-old girl whose report of sexual assault was systematically buried by leadership to protect a reputation.Tesha: A minor isolated from her support systems through strategic psychological warfare.Kara: A single mother haunted by Austin in the dead of the night.When the "nuclear explosion" of 2023 finally shattered the facade, Kenna and a small band of survivors were left to navigate the debris of their lives. Documenting the journey through a diagnosis of Complex PTSD, the book reveals the staggering cost of breaking two decades of silence to demand accountability from the man who designed their prison.Why this story matters now:Unmasking Wonderland is more than a memoir; it is an urgent piece of investigative record into spiritual abuse and institutional cover-up. Serving as a foundational pillar for the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into Cults, this book is a major Australian reckoning.A Memoir of Many VoicesScroll up and grab your copy of the first book in The Wonderland Trilogy today.
