A word from the author
------------------------------
"The Redemption Sect" is a purposeful departure from my previously published nonfictional memoirs, which are often described as "easy reads" that are lighthearted and funny.
This book is none of that.
I wrote this novel as an adult themed allegory, one that some will find disturbing. It is designed to challenge the reader and to make them think, all the while entertaining with a dark storyline. Although this book does not promote any particular ideology, it does contain a message, as all allegories do.
After reading through the completed first draft, my editor told me that she could not stop thinking about the images that leapt from its pages, some of them unsettling her for days.
To be clear: this book is not for everyone.
If you believe you are in a weak emotional state, are easily offended, prudish, or squeamish, or you dislike having your personal paradigms tested, then please, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.
Consider this a friendly warning.
