I Am Not Esther
 

I Am Not Esther

by Fleur Beale

Imagine that your mother tells you that she is going away. She is leaving you with relatives whom you have never heard of-and they are members of a strict religious cult. Your name is changed to a biblical one, Esther, and you are forced to follow the severe set of social standards set by the cult. You don't know where you mother is, and you are beginning to lose your own identity. (read review)

This is an amazing book....I personally enjoyed the main theme which was the identity crisis that she faces....But the reason that specifically stood out to me was that I think we all have our own identity crisis...it just varies from person to person.
