## Resource

We sit down to discuss Lizzie Hershberger's book, 'Behind Blue Curtains,' which sheds light on her personal stories and alleged childhood abuse within the Amish community. This discussion also touches on the broader issue of religious abuse and how certain groups, including potentially some Amish sects, exhibit cult psychology. Join us as we explore the experiences of an ex amish survivor.
