Bio
Growing up in the Armstrong cult in East Texas, Carla Powers didn’t know that the world in which she now lives existed. The impoverished girl, whose fourth-grade educated father was a violent pyromaniac, escaped the clutches of the Radio Church of God when she was 17 and used anger to fuel an insatiable desire to succeed. And succeed she did. She finished Baylor Law School and passed the bar at 22. She became the first woman partner in a 100-lawyer Houston firm at 28. For the next 15 years, she tried cases, was an adjust professor at the University of Houston Law Center, wrote articles, and gave speeches. In 2000, she joined a major multinational energy company and three years later became worldwide head of litigation. But success didn’t make Carla happy. When an inner voice awakened her in the middle of the night and told her to start writing, she realized that she’d found a calling: shedding light on the evil of cults and the transformational power of acknowledging painful life experiences.
