The Boy Who Walked Himself Home: a memoir of breaking, becoming, and remembering
A powerful memoir of healing, self-discovery, and reclaiming joy.
After being raised in a strict religious cult, The Church at Carson City, Peter was taught that love was conditional and silence was survival. This is the true story of how he broke and how he rose.
Through heartbreak, therapy, sacred medicine, and the slow work of inner healing, he learned that home was never out there. It was within him all along.
The Boy Who Walked Himself Home is a raw, poetic journey through trauma, identity, and awakening, perfect for readers drawn to spiritual memoirs, emotional resilience, or anyone learning to choose themselves.

My grandfather, who I was estranged from my whole life, was a member of this cult from nearly the beginning (not mentioned by name in the book). I did not grow up in the cult, but did get glimpses into it throughout my life in the brief and rare interactions I had with him.
Because of this, I have always paid attention to the news stories when kids ran away from the cult, or the vandalism incident that was mentioned by the author. I found about this book through one of those news stories.
It was very interesting to get the deep inside look into the group this book provides. I wish the author continued healing from what he endured.
