TW: this books has some heavy, heavy triggers, so please look them up and read at your own pace.
I started this book to learn about growing up in a cult and I ended in tears thinking of my best friend who was also in the cult of the us military and much I saw our lives reflected in Daniella and Danielle.
I don't often read memoirs, but this just jumped to the top of my recommendations. The story seems so out of touch with my own that I didn't think I could relate, but here I am crying in the floor.
