challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

I loved this memoir. It reminded me of A Little Life, but the story was from a real person. It made me sad but also greatly aware of how religious trauma can affect a person or brainwash the masses. Education is not only a right but it is essential to those who only have access to information that is censored and warped. I would highly recommend to everyone!!!
