Born and Razed: Surviving the Cult Was Only Half the Battle

Though Beth was born and raised in a cult, she survived, escaped, and spearheaded the first historical abuse case to win at trial in Canada.

Thousands have read the headlines. Few know the inside story. The impressive façade of the elite Grenville Christian College (GCC) hid a far darker truth. It was a cult hidden in plain sight.

Born to staff 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. And then the pursuit for justice began.
