N-FIC: The True Happiness Company: How a Girl Like Me Falls for a Cult Like That

For this event, I've chosen this memoir by Veena Dinavahi. If you're like me and have watched endless cult documentaries (NXIVM, anyone?), then I think this book might be for you. I'm excited and anxious at the same time. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/215361994-the-true-happiness-company

"In this revelatory debut, Veena traces the contours of her life to explore the question that plagued her in the years afterward: how did I fall for that? And what will it mean to move forward?

Told with unflinching clarity and shot through with incisive wit, The True Happiness Company is Veena Dinavahi’s singular exploration of what it means to lose and reclaim your identity, rethink mental illness, and learn to trust your intuition in a world determined to annihilate it." — Nowhere Bookshop
