![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Absolute loyalty to Father John and the cults core beliefs was ensured through the psychological breaking and brainwashing of every member. The harrowing details from within the cult include sexual, physical and mental abuse in a system inherently meant to demean each other. While Moonbeam is both unsure of her surroundings, what and whom to trust, the story walks a fine line between the “unreliable narrator,” triggered flashbacks of a brainwashed girl coming to grips with her traumatic life, her new reality and piecing it all back together in the current time. However, Will does this well without it becoming too confusing or tricky to follow. The story unfolds in a before and after style, in bits and pieces, as Moonbeam talks to both a federal agent a therapist and during therapy. Thank you to NetGalley, Edelweiss and SourceBooks for an ARC in exchange for a fair review. ![]()
