Book cover of "Surviving the Family Kingdom" by Peggy Sharr with a woman looking at a fence.

Surviving the Family Kingdom

Surviving the Family Kingdom is a raw memoir of growing up inside a family-run religious cult—and the lifelong fight to break free. Raised under fear, prophecy, and absolute control, Peggy Sharr exposes the quiet devastation of spiritual abuse and the courage it takes to reclaim one’s voice, identity, and life. This is a story of survival, reckoning, and building a future on your own terms.

  • My debut memoir is a deeply personal account of growing up under the rule of a controlling, mother who believed she was the chosen one.
  • It explores my lifelong quest to reclaim my identity, voice, and freedom.
  • Through raw honesty and psychological insight, I reveal how silence sustains control — and how courage breaks it.
  • Walk away inspired, knowing that even the deepest wounds can become fuel for courage, compassion, and a life reclaimed.
  • Rebuilding a life while carrying unhealed trauma into marriage, motherhood, and adulthood
  • Learning, slowly and imperfectly, how to trust my own mind after years of being taught my thoughts were dangerous
  • Confronting the complicated truth that love and harm can coexist—and that survival doesn’t require forgiveness or reconciliation
  • Choosing courage over compliance, and truth over belonging, to reclaim a life of my own
