Author’s Note

Purified deals with a Biblically-based destructive cult. The representation of religion in this book is purposefully skewed to explore themes of abuse in high-control religious groups. Nothing in this book should be mistaken as indicative of the author’s personal viewpoint of or experience with religion.
