貝瑟尼·喬伊·倫茨公布新回憶錄封面

Bethany Joy Lenz has revealed the cover of her new memoir and, for the first time, names the “abusive, high-demand group (aka cult)”  in which she spent a decade of her life.
貝瑟尼·喬伊·倫茨公布了她新回憶錄的封面，并首次點名了她在其中度過了10年時光的“虐待、高要求的團體(又名邪教)”。

Her new memoir, Dinner for Vampires, will detail the actress, singer-songwriter and former One Tree Hill star's life — including her years in a cult and associated “spiritual abuse," Lenz, 42, told PEOPLE when she first announced the book. She adds she has done “lots of therapy” over nearly a decade since, to help her heal.
42歲的倫茨在第一次宣布出書時告訴《人物》雜志，她的新回憶錄《吸血鬼的晚餐》將詳細描述這位女演員、創(chuàng)作歌手和前《One Tree Hill》明星的生活，包括她在邪教和相關的“精神虐待”中的歲月。她補充說，自那以后的近十年里，她做了“很多治療”，以幫助自己康復。

As an only child, Lenz always craved belonging, according to the book's description. She found a safe haven in a Bible study group with other industry members, but it "soon morphed into something more sinister—a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family," per the publisher.
根據(jù)書中的描述，作為獨生子女，倫茨總是渴望歸屬感。她和其他行業(yè)成員一起在圣經(jīng)學習小組中找到了一個安全的避風港，但它“很快就變成了更邪惡的東西——在一個名為大房子家族的教會契約的幌子下，一個慢慢編織的操縱、虐待和恐懼的網(wǎng)絡，”出版商說。

As she got deeper and deeper into the group, Lenz relocated to the Family's Pacific Northwest compound, where the publisher says a “domineering minister” persuaded her to marry one of his sons. She describes how she lost millions of her TV income, as well as her autonomy. 
隨著倫茨對這個集團的了解越來越深，她搬到了家族位于太平洋西北部的大院。出版商說，在那里，一位“專橫的部長”說服她嫁給了他的一個兒子。她描述了她如何失去了數(shù)百萬美元的電視收入，以及她的自主權。

The process has been challenging for Lenz, but not because of the writing. “I’m a writer at heart, so turning a phrase is easy for me,” she told PEOPLE. “Exploring the memories, and really facing them, can be challenging — but I’m doing it."
這個過程對倫茨來說很有挑戰(zhàn)性，但不是因為寫作。她告訴《人物》雜志說:“我骨子里是個作家，所以對我來說，轉換一個短語很容易。”“探索記憶，并真正面對它們，可能是一項挑戰(zhàn)，但我正在這樣做。”

"Recovery looks different for everyone, depending on your experience of trauma," she explains of what it's been like emerging from the group's membership. “I had to start from a baseline of my personal understanding of God and the experiences I had had. And then there was a lot of going back to who I was before and remembering that, and then acknowledging that there was so much I just didn’t know.”
“每個人的康復看起來都不一樣，這取決于你的創(chuàng)傷經(jīng)歷，”她解釋說，從這個團體的成員中走出來是什么樣子的。“我必須從我個人對上帝的理解和我的經(jīng)歷開始。然后，我要回到以前的自己，記住這一點，然后承認我不知道的東西太多了。”

In addition to working on her book, the actress and singer-songwriter has also been focused on her new music since moving to Nashville last summer. After playing the kind-hearted Haley James Scott for nine seasons on the popular CW coming-of-age drama, she also works on the nostalgia-fueled Drama Queens podcast with former costars Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton.
除了寫書之外，這位女演員兼創(chuàng)作歌手自從去年夏天搬到納什維爾以來一直專注于她的新音樂。在CW熱門成長劇《哈利·詹姆斯·斯科特》中扮演善良的哈利·詹姆斯·斯科特九季后，她還和前搭檔索菲亞·布什和希拉里·伯頓一起制作了懷舊的《戲劇女王》播客。

Much like the book, Lenz was initially nervous about the podcast, which launched in 2021 and was “incepted as a memoir of everything that we had been through.” But opening up to listeners has ultimately proven worthwhile.
就像這本書一樣，倫茨最初對這個播客感到緊張，該播客于2021年推出，“最初是對我們所經(jīng)歷的一切的回憶錄”。但事實證明，向聽眾敞開心扉是值得的。

“It’s been really valuable,” she says. “I’ve arrived at the conclusion that the hard things are meant to be shared, not hidden. They can be helpful and healing.”
“這真的很有價值，”她說。“我得出的結論是，困難的事情應該被分享，而不是隱藏。它們可以是有益的和治愈的。”
