A review by melissagopp
Silenced in Eden by Jo Lloyd Johnson

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

My first impression of both Jo and her book was dominated by one word: authentic. Jo comes from fundamentalist purity culture, a background that overlaps with my own. I resonated with many of the experiences in her brave shares on the page and found myself riveted by how she got out. It was fascinating to see the similarities between her recovery from religious abuse and her recovery from childhood sexual assault. Especially if you happen to be an exvangelical, you’ll find much to appreciate in Jo’s story.
