Why read it?
1 author picked Scarred as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I watched The Vow documentary and was hooked.
I immediately wanted to know more about Sarah Edmondson’s experience in the NXIVM cult, so of course I bought this book. She does a great job telling the truth about her indoctrination and shows a great deal of empathy for others in the organization.
It really drives home the point that nobody joins a cult, they join what they think is a good thing, and you can so plainly see how impact and intention don’t always match in organizations like these. Anyone can fall victim to these scams!
From Emily's list on nonfiction about cults, scams, and schemes.
