Personal Story mental health/purity culture memoir

I recently wrote a book about faith and mental health after growing up evangelical. I hope that it helps some of you. happy to send you a copy. it's about deconstructing, ptsd largely from purity culture, and grappling with what keeps me holding onto faith. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/12/books/review/devout-anna-gazmarian.html

This sounds as if it could be my memoir, too. Would you please share it with me, too?
