Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones
4.0
dark emotional informative medium-paced

I found this memoir to be absolutely fascinating. The author does not hold back while recounting her childhood and the trauma she endured while growing up in a well-known religious cult. This book will not be for everyone - I can see people being put off by her graphic descriptions of abuse - but this is Jones' lived experience and I am glad she did not water anything down to make the writing more palatable to the public. Before reading this title, I had minimal knowledge of The Children Of God, the cult that the author was born into, and now I feel much more educated about them and the inner workings of cults as a whole.
