{"product_id":"uncultured","title":"Uncultured","description":"In the vein of Educated and The Glass Castle, Uncultured is more than a memoir about an exceptional upbringing, but about a woman who, no matter the lack of tools given to her, is determined to overcome.\nBehind the tall, foreboding gates of a commune in Brazil, Daniella Mestyanek Young was raised in the religious cult the Children of God, also known as The Family, as the daughter of high-ranking members. Beholden to The Family’s strict rules, Daniella suffered physical, emotional, and sexual abuse―masked as godly discipline and divine love―and was forbidden from getting a traditional education.\nAt fifteen years old, fed up with The Family and determined to build a better and freer life for herself, Daniella escaped to Texas, bravely enrolled herself in high school, and excelled. She later elected to join the military, where she believed she would finally belong. But she soon learned that her new world―surrounded by men on the sands of Afghanistan―was remarkably similar to the one she desperately tried to leave behind.\nTold in a beautiful, propulsive voice and with clear-eyed honesty, Uncultured explores the dangers unleashed when harmful group mentality goes unrecognized, and is emblematic of the many ways women have to\ncontort themselves to survive.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 125083547X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.125083547X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Young, Daniella Mestyanek\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
