    Well worth reading
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2007*

This book is a fairly good memoir, despite long digressions into overly detailed memories. I skimmed some chapters, especially in the first half. However, as therapy for a recovering Christian Scientist, it was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend. Particularly in the second half of the book, when Ms. Wilson gets into the meat of her family's troubles, her writing style hits its stride and the insights are especially clear and penetrating.It may be flogging a dead horse to critique Christian Science these days, as it fades away with the passing of the last generation to grow up without antibiotics. However, those of us who were raised in it need to critique it for our own benefit. The public image of CS has to do with shunning doctors and medicine. There's much more to it. In my family, as in Wilson's, the greatest pain was caused by the avoidance of relationship problems and mental disorders. An untreated infection may kill you quickly, but an abusive parent can affect your quality of life, and those of the rest of your family, over many years.My father was a third-generation Christian Scientist, First Reader of our church, and served on the board of a CS sanitorium. He went to church twice a week and served on countless church committees. I'm sure he never once tasted alcohol or tobacco, he never went to a doctor, and he always had one of us sitting by the TV (in the days before remote controls) to turn down the volume when ads for medicine came on. He was also an abuser with chronic untreated depression and suicidal impulses.Nobody could acknowledge that my father's abuse was happening because we had to pretend that life was Perfect. This made us all enablers. Society is full of abusers and people who enable them, but few have a basis for enabling that's as powerful as the belief that the abuse literally doesn't exist. In Christian Science, if you see abuse, this is a problem in your perception--an instance of Error. You need to work on your perception, not on the person who seems to be imperfect. Domestic abuse thrives in such a setting. There are statistics that show Christian Scientists live shorter lives. I don't know of any statistics on how common abuse or mental illness is in CS families. My guess: very common.Kudos to Barbara Wilson for talking about this in her own life, and helping the rest of us survivors of CS to confront and fix the problems in our families that medicine can't touch.

    A Look At Growing Up As a Christian Scientist
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2012*

This book is the best I have read so far on the Christian Scientist religion.  I have not finished the book yet. I find it painful to read about all the lives that were harmed, so I have to put it down for a while and then go back.  There are  many writings about Mary Baker Eddy and the beliefs that she influenced people to embrace.  My mother's family members were Christian Scientists.  My mother became seriously ill and went to a doctor.  She could never have contact with her mother again and rarely mentioned the religion or her mother.  Everything was always so secretive.  I want to read more about the women who succombed to this religion -- about their personalities, marriages, and ways of raising children.  I haven't found anything that focuses on just that or that answers my questions about the pain I know she endured.

    Excellent Writer

Well constructed. I trust the narrator. A child’s faith. The loss of her mother. The shame that is the shadow of Christian Science.
