Reading this book was an exercise in misery. It is one of those books that feels as though it delights in telling you all the awful, explicit details about the horrible things that have happened to children trapped in a cult, instead of leaving a semi-visible sketch around what happened. Instead, you're forced to visualize the awful things... This is one of those things I think ought to be left in a court document, not published to be picked up on a shelf, or in a bookshop. On one hand, knowledge is power. On the other hand, I will be distraught for several days.
There is a children of God documentary on N*tflix I will recommend over this, although the documentary is brutal as well. Read the content warnings on this review carefully: there is a great deal of graphic content. I would recommend this book to no one.
