Little Red Flags: Stories of Cults, Cons, and Control - Paperback

by Noelle W. Ihli (Editor), Steph Nelson (Editor)

Twenty-one tales of frightening fanaticism! Nobody joins a cult. They find a family, a movement, a sense of meaning. And nobody falls for a con. They trust a friend, a so-called expert, an opportunity. The warning signs are easy to brush aside...until it's too late. Little Red Flags: Stories of Cults, Cons, and Control is a razor-edged collection of stories that explore how ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary danger. From manipulative lovers to deadly gurus, from a trail of small deceptions to life-shattering betrayals, these stories will pull you to the edge of trust and shove you over. Stay vigilant. The little red flags are waving.
