This was to me, a terrifying look at religious fanatics, doomsayers, what ever you want to call them. The author tells a pretty scary story of growing up in a family 'off the grid' more or less. No birth certificates, no real schooling, no phones or tvs (until later). The part I had a hard time accepting is that she kept going back. To a crazy father and abusive brother.
