The book is SO good! I finished it in a day, the way she writes is so compelling and so full of truth, you really root for her in the book. So crazy how easy it is to get wrapped up in something crazy like that. I highly recommend it!

Joy is a fabulous actress and singer. It took tremendous courage for her to leave that group and then to write about it. So sad that there are people who PREY on others. Joy’s journey will hopefully save others. Inspiring.

Absolutely love that she speaking out and at the same time I will say that any of the Hallmark movies that she’s in I look forward to because she’s so great in them and I will say as far as that goes she’s my favorite actress in the Hallmark movies that’s far for many years now

my favorite from OTH in the Kelly Clarkson Show, a dream. Unfortunately the topic she is promoting is very tough and I'm glad she got out.

Cult had been defined in our dictionaries for so long. Members don't see the signs.

😢 so easy to get stuck .when needing comforting

No clue who she is, but she's seriously gorgeous.

[Laura-gcl]

I saw her and right away figured she was either Kay Lenz's daughter or sister or niece---something...but nope, she says they are not related at all. But they really must have a relation somewhere down the line as they look SO MUCH alike. Even the way they talk.
