The Woman They Wanted

In The Woman They Wanted, Shannon Harris shares her transformative journey from a twenty-three-year-old singer and future pastor's wife into the constraints of conservative Christianity, shaped by her husband Joshua Harris's influential purity movement. For nearly two decades, she grappled with an identity confined by rigid definitions of womanhood, ultimately losing touch with her authentic self. After the collapse of Sovereign Grace Ministries and a period of disillusionment, Shannon began to reconnect with her intuition, leading her to recognize the realities of her situation and rediscover her true identity.
