It also has helped me understand most of whats going on in texas right now, and I realize how difficult this must be for the mothers and the children - but the Texas Officials are doing the RIGHT thing.
I just finished this book yesterday myself and recommend it to anyone who really would like to understand what goes on in the name of religion with this organization. Unless you are raised this way, no one can fully understand the type of brainwashing that starts from the day these children are born. They and their mothers believe it is the only way to get to heaven. I found it fascinating.
