She wrote it largely to facilitate her healing process and it isn't a comprehensive look at the Amma organization, but it blows the lid off of Amma as the "hugging saint" or "saint" in any respect, in ways that would create the need for one to engage in some serious mind-bending denial to continue to see her (particularly as a hanger-on). Well, I guess I just gave it a review of sorts, but pay no attention. I like stories of people and their lives. Smile.

Having emerged from a cult experience myself I will be looking forward to seeing what the author has to say. ---In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote: Emily, did you find that reading this book shed some light on the experiences you and your daughters had when you went to see Amma in person?

It's easily read in two days and is written sincerely and truthfully and fairly.
