After the Fire by Will Hill
5.0

This is a really well done book that definitely captured my attention, as someone fascinated by cults and survivor stories, and kept or through the storytelling. Our main character and narrator is Moonbeam, a 17 year old girl who survives a siege at the compound she's lived on almost her entire life as part of the Lord's Legion. The story goes back and forth from After the siege as she tells her story to a doctor and federal agent, and the stories she tells from before. The story was inspired by the Waco Siege in the Branch Davidians.
