The books on my shelf are those I have read and enjoyed. While they may not be perfect, they have something to recommend them. I am primarily a fan of good fiction and narrative non-fiction, particularly memoir. To pull me in, a book must tell a really, really good story, make me laugh, or make me look at why we believe the things we do and how those beliefs affect our lives.

More detailed reviews of many of the books on my shelf can be found in my blog at theheartofacult.com.

I am also the author of The Heart of a Cult, a novel that tells the story of one woman's struggle to find the truth under the corrupt leader of a spiritual cult. « less
