About Chris Davis
About the Author
Chris Davis was a lifelong devout Mormon who checked all the expected boxes of wife, mother, teacher, leader, follower, and believer until 2020 when she left her family and her church to fulfill her own personal destiny as a gay woman and independent thinker.
In 2025, Chris released the audiobook for Worthy, advocated for change alongside the Conversion Therapy Survivor Network, and began teaching groups how to have difficult conversations before the explosion.
Chris’s other works include contributing the essay Five Stories on Why I Don't Belong, about her experience of being queer in the LDS church in an anthology called I Spoke to You with Silence: Essays from Queer Mormons of Marginalized Genders, published in 2022 by the University of Utah Press. A local Maine anthology called Rivers of Ink: Literary Reflections on the Penobscot, which includes her essay called Follow the River Home in which she relates a nostalgic story from her childhood in Bangor, Maine, in 1978. And another essay contribution to North Woods At Night, which is titled Hold It: Potty Talk for the Northern Maine Woods Camper.
Chris publishes a weekly blog on Substack where she covers topics that range from feminism to camp life.
She lives quite happily in her home state of Maine.
