Many thanks to NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing for gifting me an audio ARC of this memoir by Pamela Jones, narrated by Carrier Brewer. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Pamela Jones grew up in a violent and misogynistic fundamentalist Mormon cult that kept her constantly pregnant and broken. She has 61 siblings, 5 sister wives, and 9 children. This is the story of how she escaped and became a self-made millionaire.
I was anxious to listen to this story after watching the documentary, Daughters of the Cult, from a different branch of this same evil, violent cult. I'm always amazed at the horrors people commit in the name of religion, and Pamela's father's brutal beatings were an example. It's the story of being able to pull strength of character out when you've been bullied and belittled your own life. Pamela's grit and resilience to make a new, better life for herself and her children was inspiring.
