This is the personal memoir of Flor Edwards, a child who grew up in the Children of God cult. Children of God was headed by a man, David Berg, who went by a host of other aliases. Berg founded the cult in Huntington Beach, California. He influenced his followers to practice "flirty fishing" as a way to influence wealthy men to either join or support the cult. There were a lot of abuses perpetrated towards women and children in this group, which the author outlines in this book. Children were beaten mercilessly and many were treated differently than others. The author really went though a lot as a child, and didn't come to understand her experiences until later in her teen and adult years.

I had listened to a podcast about this cult a while back, and found this book on an Audible sale. I really enjoyed the first hand account of life inside this cult, even if it was through a child's eyes. Children are often more honest in their assessments of things anyway. If you are interested in learning more about this cult, this would be a good book for that. If you get the Audible version, it is about a six hour listen.
