dark inspiring sad

4.0

it starts out a bit slow but this is a great and shocking memoir. if you are interested in cults and survivor stories, you should definitely read. it gave similar feelings of pride as educated when you read about faith overcoming childhood obstacles and finding success later in life. i am off to google search everything about this inspiring woman and the children of god

informative tense medium-paced

The pacing and storytelling was a little off for me, but I am glad I read this memoir, and I could tell it was important to the author that she share her experience.

challenging dark reflective

4.0

This is difficult to rate as it was very tough to read (or listen to - I listened to the audiobook) the awful practices of The Children of God cult. But that said, the book was well written and provided a very thorough look at Faith's personal experience.
