4.0

This book was not what I expected from the title but an interesting collection of vignettes from women who left various extreme religions. They were little slices of life about events that lead up to them joining an extreme religion, life in their religion, disillusionment with their religion, or life after leaving an extreme religion. I would have liked to see more.
