Sarah Stankorb is the author of the book Disobedient Women (Worthy Books/Hachette), which is the culmination of years reporting on women who used the internet to call out abuse within their evangelical communities. It is a book for and about people of faith and those who have walked away. The deeply researched work gives long-overdue recognition to the women who upturned their lives to speak out boldly, even as they were expected to submit and remain silent. (See the Publishers Weekly STARRED review.)
