Forager: Field Notes for Surviving a Family Cult by Michelle Dowd

challenging emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

I don’t read a ton of nonfiction but cults always fascinate me. I can’t help but feel for her throughout her challenging life and am glad she was able to get the help she needed to recover and share this beautiful story with us.
