Kimly Felli joins us to talk about her debut novel Under Authority, a fictionalized story rooted in real-life religious trauma. We get into the kind of church and Christian school culture where girls are fined for mascara, skirts are measured on cold tile, and “fraternizing” includes accidentally bumping a boy in the hallway. We talk about how control gets baptized as holiness, how leaders dodge accountability, and why telling the truth through fiction can hit deeper than a memoir ever could.
