I find it hard to review memoirs and non-fiction, and something like this is clearly so valuable as an act of catharsis for the writer, but as a reader I found it difficult.

A really eye-opening inside look told from the granddaughter of the founder of the Children of God who grew up in the cult. At it’s core, this is a story about resounding perseverance and resiliency. 

There are many unsettling and outright disturbing practices by the Children of God that fosters an entire culture of grooming under the guise of sex positivity. 

This was fascinating on a sociological perspective. It’s really easy to understand how people are brought into the cult and how logistically difficult it is to leave. Even though there’s no excuses for the abuse given my members of the Church, I truly believe the members did not believe what they were doing was wrong (as evidenced by them changing the age of consent after finding out young girls were traumatized). 

It sometimes felt like the author was merely retelling events rather than actually reflecting on them, but I understand. I would love to know Faith’s current perspective on religion.

What a story.  Definitely taking a minute here to be born into a pretty normal family.  

I really disliked the shade Ms. Jones threw at what I assume is Monterey Peninsula College.  Like it may be a community college but it did advance your learning and goals.  Save that shade for the pedophilia ring that called itself christians.
