After the Fire by Will Hill
5.0

After the Fire by Will Hill is a hard read. Telling the story of the rise and fall of a cult through the eyes of a teen girl who has no memory of living in the Outside, this book raises a lot of painful issues. Very well written, the evocative text carries the reader along through her recovery and experiences. Hard to put down even though you know from the beginning where everything is headed. Definitely a must read for anyone interested in understanding the mind control that can be inflicted, especially in the name of religion, to an extreme level.
