The story of an ordinary family’s descent into the dark world of white supremacy, and how love ultimately triumphed over hate.

As a troubled teen, Lauren Manning sought refuge online in the angry world of black metal music. When she met a recruiter who offered her the acceptance she craved, the doctrine of white supremacy supplanted the values of her middle-class upbringing, and Lauren traded suburbia for a life of violence and criminality on the streets of Toronto.

Told from the viewpoint of both mother and daughter, Walking Away from Hate chronicles Lauren’s descent into extremism, her life within the movement and her ultimate reconnection with the family she once denounced and the mother who refused to give up on her.

At a time when white supremacy and other forms of extremism are resurgent around the world, Walking Away from Hate provides a candid insider’s view from a uniquely female perspective.

Industry Reviews

"Bold, courageous, and brutally honest. The unbearable near-tragedies of this girl's journey and her mother's terror hounded me long after the last page was turned. Should be required reading in all high schools."--DONNA MORRISSEY, best-selling author of Kit's Law
"While the juxtaposition of two worlds is a central theme of this mother/daughter story, equally powerful are the insights into how white extremist thinking is fostered in the young."--DIANE DONOVAN "Midwest Review of Books"
Indeed, one of this memoir's defining, pervasive powers is the dual mother-daughter narrative that relates how Lauren was drawn into this appalling ideology and situation, how her family struggled with it, and how - ultimately - she came back from the brink. It's a brave book, suffused in unwavering honesty."--JOANNE OWEN "Love Reading UK"
