Story5 out of 5 stars 723
Behind the tall, foreboding gates of a commune in Brazil, Daniella Mestyanek Young was raised in the religious cult The Children of God, also known as The Family, as the daughter of high-ranking members. Her great-grandmother donated land for one of The Family’s first communes in Texas. Her mother, at thirteen, was forced to marry the leader and served as his secretary for many years. Beholden to The Family’s strict rules, Daniella suffers physical, emotional, and sexual abuse—masked as godly discipline and divine love—and is forbidden from getting a traditional education.

Sarah is a force of power that gives us an understanding of how once past, often generation after generation can lead to a path that crushes once dreams and one self instead of blossoming into ones true potential. Every man and woman should read this book. To better understand and learn to not judge. Beautifully read by Henrietta. I believe you Sarah.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 306
At 15, Elizabeth Gilpin was an honor student, a state-ranked swimmer, and a rising soccer star, but behind closed doors, her undiagnosed depression was wreaking havoc on her life. Growing angrier by the day, she began skipping practices and drinking to excess. At a loss, her parents turned to an educational consultant who suggested Elizabeth be enrolled in a behavioral modification program. That recommendation would change her life forever.

Heartbreaking and raw

Hearing the pain in Elizabeths voice made the experience of listening even more real. Having kids on my own this book was a reminder of how important it is to show out kids love and let them know we see them, for real. While being an authority as a parent should be, at the same time. It doesn’t have to be the one or the other.
