While I don’t rate memoirs, I do review them so let’s talk about it. 

In Sex Cult Nun, we hear from Faith Jones as she recounts being born and raised into the Children of God religious cult and I found it to be interesting. She didn’t tell it in the usual I escaped a cult type of way, but she told it as she remembered feeling at the time. From not understanding the abuse she experienced as she experienced them to realizing what she went through was messed up and very much not okay. She explores her relationship with God and how she can rectify what she was taught in the cult with what she knows now that she’s out. 

It’s interesting and difficult to listen to because of the way it’s written. She lets us know what happened and what she was taught and it makes the reader cringe and want to jump in and save her and the other children involved. The epilogue really allows us to see how she’s dealt with this trauma and how she’s made her experience work for her and push her forward rather than continue to hold her down. 

It’s odd to say a book like this is enjoyable, but if you’re interested in cult-ish books then I’d recommend this. Of course check the triggers because there are many in this one that surround children and sex.
