dark emotional hopeful informative sad tense slow-paced

4.0

the pacing was a little off for me. i felt like the ending was a little rushed. otherwise, it was pretty well-written and informative. i would really recommend reading the content warnings for this.

4.5/5.0

I find this autobiography to be a stunningly honest reflection on surviving abuse, a cult, and the trauma that comes with it. The audiobook is greatly benefitted by having the author read the book. There is no hiding away from Warren Jeff’s’ actions and the impacts he had with Rachel Blackmore’s words and tones. Her prayer for her family at the end of the book hits hard, but I hope it continues to reach her family until the FLDS is gone forever.
