An Affinity for Windows
An Affinity for Windows is a short, essay-length memoir: a work of memory, imagination, and some journalism in that it tells of actual people and places, many recognizable to anyone familiar with The Way International™ one of the largest cults in America during the 1980s.
My book-length memoir, Undertow: My Escape from the Fundamentalism and Cult Control of The Way International, sprang from this seedbed. When I visit college classes to discuss my story, students sometimes read the Affinity essay or Undertow before I arrive so they can ask informed questions.
Are You a College Student or Faculty Member?
If you are affiliated with a college in the Orlando, Florida, area and would like me to visit your students and faculty to give a presentation about my story—I've developed a PowerPoint and a handout—please contact me to discuss my availability for your event.
In my view, everyone needs to exercise critical thinking to thwart dangers cults pose to society.
