It was interesting to find out about another cult. I had no previous knowledge of this cult or any of the murders that happened. Wish she would have acknowledged the messed up teachings of other people mentioned. Not sure if she escaped one cult and ended up joining another with Bill Gothard being mentioned a few times.

Really great, insightful retelling of a very brave young girl and her struggles in and healing from a cult. It was the right mix of background, narrative, and reflections at the end that provided great closure for the story. I feel honored to have been able to hear Ana's story of resilience and finding herself. 

Would have rated a bit higher but the timeline was a bit hard to follow at times and some of the writing and phrases were noticibly repetitive. Small qualms though
