I would like to speak with David. I have just finished reading his book and I am so impressed with his courage. My late husband Roy Butcher was treated in the same way by his family when he left the Brethren at the age of 17 in 1948. His story and that of his sister Beryl is tragically sad. I am presbyterian and have no experience of living within the Brethren but I have so much to tell David of my husband’s determination to live his own life and the sad ending to his life with cancer.

What a story, we have Bretheren living all around us, a relative of David’s lives two houses away. They seem to be quite relaxed with us (worldly’s) Their youngest son is inquisitive and seems restless in the cult, he asks us a lot of questions, after reading this book I see the signs of a boy who probably wants a taste of the world. It seems sad, the Bretheren don’t give teens the chance to experience life themselves and then return if it’s what they really want. That’s what the Amish do in the States, a year out to live life, almost half return.
Good on you David, live life, be happy x

there’s hundreds of us out there the same – his story is in no way unique.
