What happens when the faith you trusted becomes the cage you can't escape?
Brittany Hart knows. She spent six years inside a high-control religious group-a place where love looked like control, devotion meant erasure, and questioning was betrayal.
Surviving Wonderland is her map out.
Through haunting, visceral poetry, Hart traces the journey from manipulation to freedom, using the story of Alice in Wonderland as a guide through the disorientation of spiritual abuse. Each poem illuminates:
- The subtle ways control disguises itself as care
- The impossible standards that break you down-
- The courage it takes to trust yourself again
- The slow, sacred work of reclaiming your voice
For anyone who:
- Is rebuilding after leaving a controlling religious environment
- Struggles with spiritual trauma or religious PTSD
- Is deconstructing faith and feeling lost in the process
- Needs permission to grieve what was taken from them
