520    The activist and TED speaker Megan Phelps-Roper reveals 
       her life growing up in the most hated family in America   
       At the age of five, Megan Phelps-Roper began protesting 
       homosexuality and other alleged vices alongside fellow 
       members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. 
       Founded by her grandfather and consisting almost entirely 
       of her extended family, the tiny group would gain 
       worldwide notoriety for its pickets at military funerals 
       and celebrations of death and tragedy. As Phelps-Roper 
       grew up, she saw that church members were close companions
       and accomplished debaters, applying the logic of 
       predestination and the language of the King James Bible to
       everyday life with aplomb—which, as the church's 
       Twitter spokeswoman, she learned to do with great skill. 
       Soon, however, dialogue on Twitter caused her to begin 
       doubting the church's leaders and message: If humans were 
       sinful and fallible, how could the church itself be so 
       confident about its beliefs? As she digitally jousted with
       critics, she started to wonder if sometimes they had a 
       point—and then she began exchanging messages with a 
       man who would help change her life.  A gripping memoir of 
       escaping extremism and falling in love,  Unfollow  relates
       Phelps-Roper's moral awakening, her departure from the 
       church, and how she exchanged the absolutes she grew up 
       with for new forms of warmth and community. Rich with 
       suspense and thoughtful reflection, Phelps-Roper's life 
       story exposes the dangers of black-and-white thinking and 
       the need for true humility in a time of angry 
       polarization.
