Requests:  0 Summary:  "In the vein of Educated and The Glass Castle, Daniella Mestyanek Young's 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. Behind 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. Her great-grandmother donated land for one of The Family's first communes in Texas. Her mother, at thirteen, was forced to marry the leader and served as his secretary for many years. Beholden to The Family's strict rules, Daniella suffers physical, emotional, and sexual abuse-masked as godly discipline and divine love-and is forbidden from getting a traditional education. At fifteen years old, fed up with The Family and determined to build a better and freer life for herself, Daniella escapes to Texas. There, she bravely enrolls herself in high school and excels, later graduating as valedictorian of her college class, then electing to join the military to begin a career as an intelligence officer, where she believes she will finally belong. But she soon learns that her new world-surrounded by men on the sands of Afghanistan-looks remarkably similar to the one she desperately tried to leave behind. Told 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 contort themselves to survive"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 299.93 Mestyanek Young Me   Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Biography B Mestyanek Young Me   Transit Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B Mestyanek Me BIOGRAPHY Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Biography B 299.93 Mestyanek Me   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.93 Mestyanek Young Me   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 299.93 Mestyanek Young Me   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 299.93 Mestyanek Young Me   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Biography B Mestynek Young Me   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
