Beth Granger was the first staff child born at Grenville Christian College, an elite private boarding school in Canada. In truth, it was a cult hiding in plain sight. After her escape at age thirty-one, she didn’t become a drug addicted streetwalker or go straight to hell, as her cult leaders predicted. Instead, she earned her Bachelor of Education at Queen’s University, got hired after her first teacher interview, married a police officer, and became a mother of two. She also helped spearhead a sixteen-year landmark class-action lawsuit against her abusers. When it became clear that she couldn’t outrun her trauma, an essential part in Beth’s healing was writing her award-winning memoir, Born and Razed: Surviving the Cult was Only Half the Battle. She is a 2025 Journey First Place Winner with the Chanticleer International Book Awards and is the recipient of the 2026 CANREADS award for Best Memoir.

Beth resides near Ottawa with her family and her family and her three cavalier (Harry, Hermione, and Ron). When she isn't writing, you might find her painting, forest bathing, napping, cycling in her Cookie Monster jersey, or singing at the top of her lungs (on stage or behind the wheel). Beth is dedicated to shedding light on the long-term impact inflicted by weaponized religion and to helping its survivors heal.
