This book is a true horror. It isn’t scary, it’s horrifying. It’s sad and it’s painful to read. But this book is amazing. I have such deep appreciation for the author, for finding the records of a woman whose life was destroyed by patriarchal systems and greed, and giving us an idea of what her experiences might have been like. I appreciate the way the author illustrated how modern day cults appropriate folkish and pagan practices and use them to manipulate people. More than anything, I appreciate this author for writing something that made me get out of bed to lay down with my daughter and hold her tight.
