The Stone Sphere

The Stone Sphere is a courageous blend of memoir, investigative journalism, academic treatment, and institutional critique, centering on systemic sexual abuse protections within the LDS Church and the author’s own journey as a survivor. The book intertwines Greco’s harrowing experiences of childhood sexual abuse, her escape from domestic violence, and her pursuit of justice with a rigorous examination of the LDS Church.

Key themes include:

Greco reflects on the dual role of David F. Holland—an ordained LDS leader, Harvard Dean, and son of a Church Apostle—who supported the author’s escape from abuse while navigating institutional policies and moral responsibility.

Greco examines how cultural and doctrinal frameworks within the LDS Church hinder accountability.

With voices of allies, ancestors, and scholars, the work emphasizes healing as a right and amplifies suppressed testimonies.

Endorsed by Lisa Miller, Ph.D. (Spirituality & Psychology), and Scott Taylor, Ph.D. (LDS area authority and professor), the book merges raw personal narrative with scholarly analysis. It calls on ecclesiastical and political leaders to confront systemic failures, framing transparency and survivor advocacy as moral imperatives for faith-based institutions.

Aimed at readers of true crime, social justice, and spiritual memoir, The Stone Sphere stands as both a monument to survivors and a manifesto for collective action.
