Think you could never join a cult? So did I.
Cults thrive on secrecy, isolation, deception, and manipulation as they coerce even worldly and intelligent people into their cruel grip. In this award-winning memoir, Alexandra Amor shines a light on cults so that others might learn from her heartbreaking experience. Amor gracefully and sensitively explains how ordinary and intelligent people get seduced into joining cults, why they stay despite the emotional and psychological abuse, and what the long process of recovery looks like once someone leaves a cult.
Amor's transparency about her decade-long involvement with a Vancouver, Canada cult makes this powerful and gripping book an excellent resource for those wanting to know more about how the mind control of a high demand spiritual or religious group works.
"This excellent memoir reveals how a charismatic, manipulative spirit medium can use love for God and neighbor as a hook to drag a small group of devotees into her cynical web of impossible goals for self-perfection. After a heroic struggle for insight, Alexandra Amor was one of the cult members who broke the abusive spell."

"I never expected to be so gripped by a nonfiction story. This is a powerful and moving story about how good intentions can sometimes lead us down the wrong paths, how love can go awry, and how the psychology of abuse plays out." Becky T
"The author's great sensitivity to her story and the people she knew ensures that the reader is always aware of his / her surroundings as the story unfolds. You really are there, and there is grace and great affection in the writing. Ms. Amor admits that she stills loves the people in the cult she left behind, and that rings true throughout. CULT, A LOVE STORY is highly recommended, and it's not easy to forget." Jill Stevens
"Alexandra's story enlightened me. If you think someone you know or love may be involved in or about to be involved in a cult I just can't say it loud enough...READ THIS BOOK!!" Trudy Mintun
"Like many other people I had always looked at the cults and wondered how intelligent people got caught up in such lies. The explanations of the leader psychology [were] clearly laid out for the reader to see that getting caught is easy. I will never forget the analogy with the frog and boiling water and have told this to so many friends as it is pertinent throughout many incidents in life. I would highly recommend this book to everyone." Amazon reviewer
