Author Visit with Molly Salans In Person

A Break in the Fog

Join us for a visit with local author Molly Salans, who will discuss her psychological thriller, "A Break in the Fog"

Prior to pursuing her education in counseling and social work, Molly was a member of a prominent cult for seven years. Though she left in 1982, her experiences as part of the group haunted her, leading her to write her newest book, a psychological fiction novel titled A Break in the Fog. Though not autobiographical, her insider understanding of the way cults operate informed this integral part of the dysfunctional family narrative. Feeling this was a story she had to get out, her wish is for readers to find hope in the family’s quest for redemption. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will be provided. Registration is recommended and walk-ins are welcome. 

A Break in the Fog

A family in turmoil, a dangerous cult, and God at the center of it all, A Break in the Fog is a psychological fiction book that explores how faith can be used to heal, but also to abuse and how family is all that matters in the end.

With her mother dead, her sister Wendy addicted to drugs, and her father condemning her every decision, Clara Greenwood shoulders the weight of all her dysfunctional family’s problems. Desperate for a way out, she is reluctantly goaded into attending a meeting for a secret school, The Ancient Side of Ideas. She is quickly swept up in the cult, however, when she meets the charismatic Damien – one of its teachers. His charm and good looks melt her skepticisms away, convincing her to give up everything in her old life. But when Clara finds herself in too deep, can she find her way out before it’s too late?
