I loved this memoir. It reminded me of A Little Life, but the story was from a real person. It made me sad but also greatly aware of how religious trauma can affect a person or brainwash the masses. Education is not only a right but it is essential to those who only have access to information that is censored and warped. I would highly recommend to everyone!!!

This memoir is a testament to the author's strength and resilience, and the ways in which education and the way we are raised really shapes who people become. Although this story is often harrowing and tense, the author had a bit of an emotionless matter-of-fact writing style that made it such that I wanted to keep reading but I never felt truly moved or emotional. This style makes sense though as she speaks about the way she learned to not let it show that the trauma and abuse she experienced got to her and to not outwardly show her weakness. I do really admire the courage she found to live life on her own terms and to write this book without the support of most of her family members.
