September OzLit Book Club - Cult Bride by Liz Cameron

An extraordinary true story about how one woman was broken down by a secretive, predatory cult – and how she broke free and remade her life As an 18-year-old on a gap year in Canberra, Liz was approached at a shopping centre by a woman who, unbeknown to her, was a recruiting agent for Providence, a Christian cult that originated in South Korea and currently operates in 72 countries. As a new adult, Liz was struggling to navigate the world and her identity, and as cults do so skilfully, they took advantage of her vulnerability. In Cult Bride, Liz takes us behind the scenes of a terrifying cult to show us how they operate in plain sight – and how we can unpick the systems that enable them to prey on vulnerable people. An extraordinary true story about how one woman was broken down by a secretive, predatory cult – and how she broke free and remade her life. Buy the book on our website or in store.
