Dundee author Mary Rosenberger grew up in Freedom Village USA, which claimed to be a Christian home for troubled teens on Seneca Lake. Through its atmosphere of fear and controlling leader, Mary suffered spiritual abuse and came to see Freedom Village for what it was: a religious cult, though full of well-meaning followers. Ask Mary anything about her unique inner-circle story from her family's thirty-year staff residency and eventual exodus from Freedom Village.

Join Mary for a reading from her memoir, an ask-me-anything Q&A session, and book signing at the Penn Yan Library from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 21, for the debut of "Freedom Village: A Memoir."
