The Orphan of God: A Memoir

The Orphan of God - A Single Women’s Journey Towards Her Own Truth Rich with splendid imagery and laser like detail, ‘The Orphan of God’ is a tale of accommodation, dissonance, rebellion and personal redemption. It is a story of the power of Faith in Oneself. Played out in New Zealand under the dictates of Mormonism, Pip Gordon’s childhood was cloaked in ritual, secrecy and fear-based obedience. Temperamentally more suited to the vast openness of the landscape than the narrow confines of the faith of her family, she struggled mightily to be worthy. But her efforts were no match for the strength of her inner voice. Fiercely bright, creative and stubborn, she found no choice but to be true to herself no matter the fallout.
