Not what I thought it would be, but still good. The daughter is much more engrossed in the cult than the back cover leads you to believe. Still an excellent story of a young girl grappling with faith, a mother who leaves her, found family, and more.

Absolutely amazing. My one critique is that I wish Lacey May was more active at the end of the book, instead of passive.

She gets rescued at the end through other people. It would have been great if she had been the one to get help

Still, terrific book, and I would definitely recommend it to people who want to read more about fictional cults.
