“A compelling and important contribution to the literature on cult psychology, offering readers both a cautionary tale and a deeply human story of resilience.”
“Goes beyond a typical cult exposé by placing you inside the emotional and psychological grip of Love Has Won through the eyes of someone who lived at its center.”
