Why read it?
1 author picked Sex Cult Nun as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed immersing myself in the world of a cult family where sexual practices that are objectionable to much of mainstream society are considered normal within this family. It’s interesting to see how members of a cult who are isolated from the outside world go through their lives as if nothing is wrong.
The world in the cult is their whole worldview. Plus, I found myself having much sympathy for the author who bravely shared her life experiences.
From Anthony's list on The most eye-opening nonfiction books about cults or disinformation.
