I found the army portions to be more engaging. I am curious of what she has to say about good versus bad leadership. It’s well written.

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.

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.
