I was skeptical about reading this book, would it be an unbalanced account- But as I read about this life experienced in Gloriavale, I soon understood how mature, disciplined and talented the youth of Gloriavale are. I could see how this strictly controlled and structured existence may not be the lifestyle choice for some and how they would want to leave. The feelings around this heart-breaking decision are profound you can feel the family's struggle and fears. I really enjoyed this.
