It's a memoir of a girl growing up JW. If you are ever feeling sentimental and missing your JW days, this book is a must read. It truly reinforces why I'm out. The way they handle things is disgusting and inhuman.
Has anyone read Toni Castro's The Truth Book?

Do you mean "Joy" Castro? She is the author of "The Truth Book". My wife and I met her recently at a book signing where we purchased her book. Very nice and kind person. But also, she exudes this sort of...inner strength. Not surprising given what she went through. A person would either go through what she did and become a completely broken shell or do the opposite and come out of it like tempered steel. I'm glad for her that she has been able push through her past to make a success of her life.

I guess I need to break that book back out and read it.
It is on my shelf, but when I started to read it, it just seemed impossible to follow on the first few pages, so I put it down.

Ak, Once you get past a few chapters, you won't be able to put it down, until you finish it.
She does jump around a lot in the beginning, unfortunately, but it gets interesting as you read on and make the connections.
Then it gets shocking. It really is a must read.

Yes Jeff, you have to get through the first few chapters to get to the meat of the story. She's a talented writer and I think in the beginning she was excercising her craft and I just wanted to get into the dirt of what the JW's did to her. For me it was worth reading through the hard to understand part.

Yes, I'm sorry I meant Joy. I went to school with a girl named Toni Castro so I keep confusing the name. Strangely when I try to edit it the system won't let me.
