What happens when religion and power collide in the wrong hands? At Grenville Christian College, once one of Canada’s most prestigious private religious schools, the result was thousands of broken lives.
Born and Razed recounts the author's gripping and deeply personal journey. Beth's life began at Grenville, where her parents were teachers. The picturesque campus on the banks of the St. Lawrence River masked a dark reality: behind its idyllic facade lay a world of strict control, religious zealotry, and emotional abuse.
Beth was the first baby born at Grenville, but her childhood was far from blessed. When the Mothers, founders of the Benedictine-inspired Community of Jesus in Cape Cod, brought their rigid and punitive vision to the school, life took a devastating turn. For Beth, “repentance” came with public humiliation, relentless criticism, and separation from her family. By age five, she was living apart from her parents, accused of gluttony, and placed on restrictive diets—laying the foundation for a lifelong battle with eating disorders, low self-esteem, and mental health struggles.
Throughout her adolescence, Beth endured emotional torment under the guise of religious instruction. Attempts to seek help were met with harsh judgment, not compassion. Like her family, she was tightly bound by cult-like indoctrination, isolated, and forced to endure the unendurable.
Yet, even in the face of such profound trauma, Beth found the strength to fight back. Her path to freedom began with an act of quiet rebellion—admitting the truth about the institution she had been conditioned to revere. That truth set her on a journey of healing, activism, and justice.

I can’t overstate how moved I have been by her narration of her own story. Many times I had to stop the book, and just sit with something she had said. Or cry for the pain that she had been through.
So many of us went through the same hell at Grenville or the community of Jesus. As a group of staff kids at either commune- we speak out against the atrocities that were committed, and are still being committed to this day in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The harm that was done to small children and growing teenagers and young adults, all in the name of God, is a narrative so alarming and compelling that I will do all I can to expose the insidiousness of these high control groups that are still very much alive and well in our world today.
I highly recommend you listen to this book with an open heart.
Thank you Beth for your bravery. We stand with you.
