I enjoy reading books about people involved in cults. I am fascinated how one person can hold such control over a group. Starbird Murphy lives on The Free Family Farm, a commune in the woods of Washington State. Starbird loves her "family," and doesn't really see any problems with their lifestyle. Then she gets her "calling." She is "called" to be a waitress at the Family run restaurant in Seattle. This is Starbird's first dealing with the "world outside" and she is not so sure it is the best place for her. I loved Starbird's journey of self discovery as she navigates going to public school, handling money and other activities for the very first time in her life. If you also like books about those living in communes or cults you may want to try The Patron Saint of Butterflies by Cecelia Galante and Schooled by Gordon Korman.
