By the time she turned eighteen, the rules in her home were ironclad: no college, no career, no choices of her own. As a stay-at-home daughter in the Christian patriarchy movement, she was trained for one purpose--to serve the man her father would eventually allow her to marry. She learned to cook, to clean, to disappear. She learned that her body was a threat and freedom was sin. Her life would never be her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil she broke free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile dystopian novels like \u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e explore the extremes of patriarchy as fiction, \u003ci\u003eRift\u003c\/i\u003e tells a true story of gender oppression--one that many American women are experiencing now behind closed doors at home and at church. Weaving together her own gripping story with lyrical meditations on the geology of displacement and fracture, West maps the fault lines of her own breaking: the isolation that kept her silent, the forbidden relationship that became her escape route, and the complex aftermath of choosing herself over everything she'd been taught to believe. Heartbreaking, hopeful, and blazingly honest, \u003ci\u003eRift \u003c\/i\u003eis both exposé and invitation--a reminder that freedom and healing are possible for those determined to claim a different life for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cait West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802886205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802886200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Here Below\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Cait West","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659961708799,"sku":"9780802886200","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rift-cait-west-9780802886200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
