This book is HARD to read (or, in my case, listen to). The descriptions of Turner's sexual abuse as a child are unflinching and nauseating. Please be in the right headspace when giving this one a go. 

 I love reading about people's experiences in different religions, cults, or extreme lifestyles. I've read Educated, Unorthodox, Going Clear, The Glass Castle, etc. I liked the first part of this book more than the second, as it focused more on living within The Family and her experiences there. I found the second half interesting as well, but it felt a little more disjointed. 

This is one of the few books I've listened to where I would highly recommend the print version more.  The audiobook doesn't do a good job of differentiating what is happening at present and what is pulled from one of Turner's diaries, so it can be difficult to follow at times. 

Overall, I really liked the style of this book and the choice Turner made to write it from her perspective as a child without any adult retrospective or insights. If you're into the same genre of nonfiction/memoirs I listed above, I think you'll like this one too.
