On January 5, 1975, for six-year-old Guinevere Turner, the world was supposed to end. Guinevere did not understand that her family was a cult - part of the Lyman Family, a secluded cult spearheaded by Mel Lyman, a self-proclaimed savior, committed to isolation from a World he declared had lost its way. Drawing from the diaries that she kept throughout her youth, Guinevere's memoir is an intimate and heart-wrenching chronicle of a childhood touched with extraordinary beauty and unfathomable ugliness, the ache of yearning to return to a lost home - and the slow realization of how harmful that place really was.
