I think the main difference between this book and Jesus Freaks (a book on the same cult) is that this book was written with the empathy and honesty of someone still somewhat recovering from their traumatizing upbringing as opposed to sensationalizing the abuses of a cult they had never experienced. This book is very honest as to the perspectives of the author at every age she engages the reader with. The facts are panned out for us. It would be a stretch to say that I "enjoyed" the scenes of abuse and horror throughout the book, but I appreciated the voice of the author and her perspectives on what the world had looked like to her. If you're looking for your next tell-all-cult book, well, this one's a doozy, but it's definitely a well-written and comprehensive read. I'll be adding the triggers I remember below.

While I enjoyed this memoir, I wish I had read it instead of listening to the audio because I did not feel like the narration fit the content of the book well.

I really liked this book. Coming from an evangelical background, this gave me a lot to reflect on in terms of breaking down my own faith to learn which parts were toxic and which weren’t, and how to move forward.
