This book reminded me a lot of braiding sweet grass, but utilized more narrative. I listed to the book, so time jumps were hard to follow, but overall great story, very powerful.

informative sad tense

Hello darkness (religious trauma) my old friend.

Had peak anxiety reading about her hematologic illnesses and the extreme neglect her family had for her then and always. As expected from a religious extremist cult memoir, this is a tough read.
