Customer Reviews

I had religious trauma and this delight was recommended by my therapist.

I was raised a Jehovah's Witness too and sadly this is most of parents in the cult. My parents were much more abusive, because unhealthy people are attracted to radical movements that place religion over their families. I did a little research and Natalie is also an activist and I love her happy spirit and survival mentality. There is something we all can learn from that whether we are a refugee, survived the death of a loved one, grown up an orphan or survived an abusive relationship. Religions like this are very abusive and the children in it are robbed of an education, a childhood, dreams and passions. The moral of the story is that it is NEVER to late to leave a cult. Many of the ladies I know that left this religion their life was upgraded, happy and full of purpose and they have so much more free time to live an amazing life. Haha.

Excellent Anti-Cult Awareness! Beautiful art! Cults like JW need to stop shunning children, they tra

This is a story of hope! I loved the educational lense and slipped in comedy. I never meet some of my Jehovahs Witness grandparents, even some siblings and many aunts and uncles because my mother was viciously shunned from the church. My mother never spoke of her painful past, but I do remember being rejected on my grandparents doorsteps at age 8 with my mother when drove a long distance because she needed emotional support, they never let us in the house. This book gave me a glimpse to the how’s and why’s and I think all parents should buy for their young daughters to mentally prepare them for God driven cults with inhumane policies. Great Job Natalie Grand. It’s the first graphic novel for the ex-JW community and I thought it was unique, modern and I loved the graphic novel mode. Brilliant!
