Why read it?
1 author picked Tears of the Silenced as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is heartbreaking and enlightening.
Admittedly, I didn't know much about the Amish culture religion prior to reading this book, other than what I saw in Pennsylvania when I lived there, but I was always curious. After reading this book, I started to question the idea of ‘religious freedom’ in our country, that can so shield people who are abusing their freedom by exploiting women and children.
Religion in its worst manifestation can be so damaging, which is so well explained in this book.
From Emily's list on nonfiction about cults, scams, and schemes.
