challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.75

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
