    • I should think that abuse as brutal as she described and the family denial will take her much longer to recover from than she describe
    • Tara’s story might help people to better understand who they are and inspire them to make themselves a fundamental change in their lives, as well as it might help the world, the public opinion, and people in position of leadership to better understand the dramatic lives of people isolated from education and health services
    • Furthermore, like her old sect, her new religion will reward her so long as she follows its tenets.
    • Brave as in everything she went
    • Book club choice, not sure I will ever finish it, just how many major accident can a whole family have without anyone getting killed, losing a limb or dying from complications, I will be giving it a D for Delusional.
