New York Times bestselling author Lauren Drain Kagan, who escaped the Westboro Baptist Church 16 years ago, speaks with former member Danni Phelps — granddaughter of infamous pastor Fred Phelps — about the physical abuse she experienced growing up in the cult. Hours-long beatings with night sticks, coat hangers, brooms, and more eventually led to Danni’s first suicide attempt at the age of 11 — with more to follow. Danni talks openly about the abuse for the first time, including the chronic injuries and mental illness she developed as a result. The two discuss their experiences with Borderline Personality Disorder, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and other problems they suffer from due to the cult’s abusive ideas and behaviors.
