This book is an excellent, harrowing account by the writer of her childhood and subsequent enlistment into the USA military, from 1 cult to another, she finds strength and resilence to break free.

Sensational in every way. I am almost lost for words. I saw a review once that said a lot of people have incredible stories, but not everyone can write an incredible story. Daniella exceeds at sharing her life story in an informative yet enthralling way without oversharing that which deserves to remain private. She expertly uses her own life experience to analyse, draw comparison and critique group behaviour and psychology. Her story is harrowing in every way, but most striking is her conviction in herself from such a young age. It may not have been her intention, but to me this is a story of resilience. For someone to have experienced abuse on the level that she has but has been able to still trust and act on her own judgement is astonishing. I absolutely am in awe of this woman, she is the definition of inspiring and I cannot wait to read all her future work.

I found the army portions to be more engaging. I am curious of what she has to say about good versus bad leadership. It’s well written.
