5.0
A window into what it’s like to live inside both a religious extremist cult (Children of God) and a socially acceptable group with cult-like traits (The US Army). The author does the difficult job of reliving these experiences to share how her traumas followed her through life, and her strength to keep going. Very moving, and so heartbreaking.
