Bea Denham was a toddler when her Lo (Gloria) was born prematurely. When Bea was 19, her parents were killed in a car accident and Lo was severely injured. The doctors did not think Lo would survive her injuries. Bea prays for Lo’s recovery and then enters Lev Warner the religious leader of the Unity Project. Bea falls under his spell and abandons her life and moves to the Unity Project and the two become lovers. Lo works at a SVO a lifestyle magazine. She wants to investigate the Unity Project after she meets Jeremy shortly before he jumps in front of a train.

The book is written in first person point of view and jumps from Bea and Lo. The characters are developed, and the story is fast paced so I was able to read it in one sitting. The story also jumps around in time. I was confused at times since I wasn’t sure who was speaking. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and the characters. It shows how easy it can be to fall into a Cult without knowing it.
