Welcome to Litsy!

A good story about the five children who survived a cult, four of whom have spent 15 years trying to make sense of it. Chapters from the past and chapters from the present culminate in the discovery of what really happened all those years ago. I had to suspend my sense of disbelief to get to the end of this one. A soft pick as the characters didn‘t really resonate with me, yet the mystery kept my attention.

This book was beautifully written and I love Joys raw and honesty throughout. You can feel her struggles and understand how she ended up in a cult without even realizing it.. I also love that she narrated her own book 🥹❤️

Amazing Triumph🎉

Five survivors of a cult (all other members mysteriously) are trying to live their lives as if all of that didn‘t happen. When one of them commits suicide however, they know they have to face their past. Should they return to Red Peak for answers?
A pageturner! Thanks for the recommendation @Reggie

I am reading both Satisfaction Cafe and A Dedicated Man. Enjoying both. Next will be one recommended by @Reggie : The Children of Red Peak.

Kind of a disappointing month. I didn‘t read a book that made me really feel something…..

I went into this book thinking it might be a more personal deep dive into the hidden abuses revealed in the shiny happy people documentary. It was more about Jill talking about how uncomfortable it was to be on camera all the time, the double standard of how her brother was treated by her father versus how she was treated, and later financial abuse. I‘m glad Jill found her way out of the fundamentalist stranglehold, but I think she‘s still in⬇️
