Susannah returns home after her first year of university to visit her stringently religious mother, who takes &#8220;your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit&#8221; seriously. The way that Susannah&#8217;s mother weaponizes religion makes Margaret White (Carrie) look like a peaceful dove by comparison. A wild ride from start to finish and a fun first read that&#8217;s piqued my interest in this author&#8217;s other books.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Though she was much <em>bigger<\/em> than her mother, she felt <strong>microscopic<\/strong> in comparison to her.
