I read enough that I rarely find books that churn my stomach and yet this one did. Jones is so frank and open about her experiences in the Children of God cult and oh wow it was a lot. I wish she had spent a little less time on the back and forth of what was happening day by day and more on her life post-cult. It seems like she just suddenly left, went to university and was now 41 years old and giving a Tedx talk. I wish there had been more about her deconstruction and return to mainstream society, but I also get that maybe isn't a part of her life she's ready to reflect on at this point. Either way, check trigger warnings for this book before reading, because it's incredibly heavy.

brookey8888's review against another edition

This is absolutely nothing against the book, in fact I found it really interesting. That being said this is so graphic and disturbing reading about graphic details of childhood sexual abuse that I just can’t stomach it at this point in time. Maybe I’ll pick this up again in the future.

challenging dark reflective

4.0

This is difficult to rate as it was very tough to read (or listen to - I listened to the audiobook) the awful practices of The Children of God cult. But that said, the book was well written and provided a very thorough look at Faith's personal experience.
