'Book Talk' with CUNY BA Student Amber Scorah | CUNY TV Special

On September 11, 2019 in Elebash Recital Hall, The Graduate Center hosted a book talk with Amber Scorah, a current CUNY Baccalaureate student, who spoke about her recently published memoir, Leaving the Witness: Exiting a Religion and Finding a Life (Viking, 2019). A third-generation Jehovah’s Witness, Amber, married to an elder, found herself at the age of twenty-two a missionary in China where preaching her faith is illegal. Living in an unfamiliar environment, learning a foreign language, and a different culture, unexpectedly, exposed her to a new way of thinking; turning her private life and personal faith upside down. Declared an apostate and losing everything she had ever known and believed, Amber explains in spare, compelling prose how one may start life over to discover personal identity and meaning in the absence of faith.
