Did you just stab me? 
This book made me bawl like a baby. 
As a victim of domestic violence but also growing with an abusive father this hit so hard to home. It was written so well and with the harsh truth of being manipulated by family is so easy to fall into. 
This is a perfect book for anyone who loves cult doomsday style true crime but bring your tissues. This is definitely one of my new favorite books and will highly recommend it to everyone I know how
