The Make-Believe

“This was memoir at its best— honest, raw, important, and a beautifully crafted narrative. Murray lays herself completely bare as she discusses her experiences of severe mental illness and becoming involved with a cult.”

“As with other cult stories, it speaks to the way powerful people take unashamed advantage of vulnerable individuals. But the real power here was in being taken deep inside Hannah's psyche as she experienced mania, depression, and ultimately, psychosis.”

“I was astounded by the intimacy and honesty of her approach— I could not put this down!”
