Synopsis
Inspired by Jon Krakauer's investigative style, this book uncovers the dark history of The Family International, a controversial religious movement. It details the rise of its charismatic leader, David 'Moses' Berg, whose teachings devolved into abuse and control. The narrative follows Ricky 'Davidito' Rodriguez, Berg's heir apparent, as he grapples with his traumatic past within the cult and embarks on a destructive quest for vengeance against his own family. This is a powerful and engrossing account of a uniquely American tragedy.
