Mrs. James had a profound religious conversion experience early in parenthood, and their large nondenominational church quickly became the focal point of their lives.
They used to say that if the doors were open, they were there.
“We always joked that we had this perfect little scenario,” Mrs. James said.
They initially refused to use their daughter’s chosen name, Lilia, and Mrs. James could barely be in the same room with her when she was wearing a skirt.
Then a pastor at the church encouraged them to kick their daughter out of their home.
