Thousands have read the headlines. Few know the inside story.
Once ranked amongst Canada's elite boarding schools, the impressive facade of Grenville Christian College hid a far darker truth. Just three years after its opening, the college fell prey to the "Mothers" - leaders of a Cape Cod commune that would turn GCC into an institution of paranoia that brainwashed, abused, and terrorized its residents for decades.
Staff and students alike were forced into terrifying "light sessions" where they were publicly attacked for their sins. Cruel punishments that demoralized and demeaned were commonplace, keeping residents captive to their shame - by a cult that was hidden in plain sight.
The first "staff kid" to be born at GCC, Beth Granger was removed from her parents' care at the age of four, because they were deemed too sinful to raise her. When she was only five, the leaders declared war on Beth's "sin" of gluttony.
It would take her three decades to muster the courage to escape.
Six years after she left, GCC folded, and allegations of abuse exploded in the media. With the tidal wave of truth came Beth's own understanding of what she had endured - and the beginning of a pursuit for justice that set historical precedent in the Canadian legal system.
