Lilia Tarawa
In this personal account, Lilia Tarawa exposes the shocking secrets of the cult, with its rigid rules and oppressive control of women. She describes her fear when her family questioned Gloriavale's beliefs and practices.
When her parents fled with their children, Lilia was forced to make a desperate choice: to stay or to leave. No matter what she chose, she would lose people she loved.
In the outside world, Lilia struggled. Would she be damned to hell for leaving? How would she learn to navigate this strange place called "the world"? And would she ever find out the truth about the criminal convictions against her grandfather?

But, I found the audible recording of this story hard to listen to. I’m not sure if the narrator was trying to put of a New Zealand accent but whatever they were doing, I wish they weren’t. So many words were mispronounced and I had to do a double take to figure out what they were trying to say.

Great story and narrator

The final chapters also raised a lot questions that were never addressed, questions about her parents and their choice to leave the cult, as well as how they ran their household after that. Overall, though, I enjoyed the book! I especially love that she turned her experiences into a career that allows her to help to other people. As for the performance, the narrator did well for the most part, but she had a voice quality that often sounded like a TV announcer proclaiming something, rather than a natural storytelling tone.
Good overall

I pray for this woman, as her hyper-post-modernist nihilism (tempered by a fanatical worship of her emotions and the bromides of the self-help industry) will, if not abandoned and repudiated, leave her as broken and empty as this book reveals her to be. She seems to have a good heart, but she suffers from being subjected to someone arbitrarily “deciding” her reality. She now believes she can decide reality. Only the God Whose Essence is Existence and Who died and rose can do that. He has a Bride on earth, and the Roman Pontiff stewards her. One can, like this author, claim without argument or evidence that there no such thing as absolute truth, but to do so they must also acknowledge that this rule applies to and thereby defeats itself.
Also - this book is 60-75% too long and many paragraphs, colorless anecdotal recollections and chapters aim with similar, meaningless and cumulative banalities of the most platitudinous and transparently empty sort. The author also has (and despite juvenile “silly me” “aw shucks” protests to the contrary) a pervasive obsession with her appearance. She also appears to have a completely shattered understanding of the sexes.
I would encourage the offer to ponder whether God might be bigger than her grandfather. Jesus remains the only Way, Truth and Life. Mary Queen of Peace and Victory, PRAY FOR US!
