Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones
challenging
dark
hopeful
sad
medium-paced
I have decided to not give star ratings to nonfiction memoirs.
This was a rollercoaster of hard hitting scenes of child abuse one after the other, so please be warned that this is not an easy read/listen.
I hadn’t heard of this cult before so this was also a very informative book for me. Faith does an amazing job at portraying how members are manipulated into believing that they are doing the right thing and how difficult it can be to break free.
It ends with some excellent thoughts on the importance of examining your beliefs, no matter what those are, as well as some emotional passages about self-ownership.
A good yet harrowing read, absolutely would recommend.
