I am converting to a new religion because it felt best for me and my family. It’s against the grain of our whole community. We cannot move to a bigger community yet. We’re alone a lot, yet we feel freer than ever. It’s like I’ve prepared my whole life for this. I’m afraid to tell my family because they will be livid or make us all miserable, but I like the person I’m becoming too much to turn back now and care what everyone thinks.
