I was prepared to read a scathing expose. That is not what this book is about - rather it is the heart wrenching tale of one woman's journey to overcome deep set religious dogma and abuse in her life. A journey to a faith not linked to any one religion was a difficult and dangerous trip for Ms Beck. While this is the story of a woman raised as a Mormon, this could have been a woman from any organized religion making the same realizations and decisions in her life. This is a haunting story that once started is hard to put aside.
