challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad medium-paced

4.5

This was a very difficult read as the content can be very heavy at times but overall this was an amazing and enlightening story of self discovery, perseverance and the dangers of group behaviour in any form.

Moderate: Blood, Incest, Abandonment, and Domestic abuse

There is disturbing descriptions about assult, abuse, rape and overall life in cults (both religious and not). These descriptions include extreme harm done to children in these scenarios (this harm was at times sexual in nature). As well as the life long repercussions and continued impacts of that trauma. Depictions of systemic sexism and abuse, as well as suicidal ideation.

bsimmonds's review against another edition

2.0

This story is important, heartbreaking, and worthwhile. Also, the writing is repetitive, with sentences from the previous paragraph repeated in a different word order... throughout the entire book. Somehow, it's still hard to follow despite the constant reminders to the reader. Overall, it's a valuable and unique perspective distracted by the writing itself.
