Very interesting story about overcoming an incredibly abusive upbringing!

The difficult part was realizing that the abusive upbringing was true.

It is hard to believe what a fine person emerged from the ashes of such chaotic and warped upbringing

My heart goes out to Tara, who can never fully shake off her warped upbringing

Reading this memoir made me appreciate my parents and the upbringing I experienced

Great read and a testament to the indomitable human spirit that can rise above the most difficult circumstances and upbringing, although not without a struggle and scars.

You can still feel that pull in her writing, even after she’s separated herself from the family and realized that her upbringing was toxic in many ways

It centers on a woman’s journey to find herself amid an isolated and extreme upbringing.

Very interesting story of a very unusual upbringing.

Beautifully written book.the story of Tara and her upbringing is amazing

What strength it took for her to lift herself from her torturous upbringing...to fight off all she had been taught, and to finally, and painfully, walk away from what she recognized would be her demise if she didn't.

Amazing story of an unbelievably twisted upbringing

The fact remains that her upbringing was unusual and eventful

My heart goes out to Tara, who can never fully shake off her warped upbringing

There are parallels with Holy Ghost Girl, another story of a strange, lonely girl, overcoming an overwhelmingly bizarre religious upbringing

The empathy for those who would make different choices is woven throughout this accounting of a difficult upbringing in modern-day America

It is an inspiring story of a remarkable young woman who managed to overcome her difficult upbringing.

She rose to such accomplishments after such a tough upbringing.
