After seven years of faithfully following her spiritual teacher,
Renee Linnell finally realized she was in a cult and had been
severely brainwashed. But how did that happen to someone like her?
She had graduated magna cum laude with a double degree. She had
traveled to nearly fifty countries alone before she turned
thirty-five. She was a surf model and a professional Argentine
tango dancer. She had started five different companies and had an
MBA from NYU. How could someone like her end up brainwashed and in
a cult? The Burn Zone is an exploration of how we give up our
power―how what started out as a need to heal from the loss of her
parents and to understand the big questions in life could leave a
young woman fighting for her sanity and her sense of self. In the
years following her departure from the cult, Linnell struggled to
reclaim herself, to stand in her truth, and to rebuild her life.
And eventually, after battling depression and isolation, she found
a way to come out the other side stronger than ever. Part
inspirational story, part cautionary tale, this is a memoir for
spiritual seekers and those who feel lost in a world that makes
them feel less than perfect.
"I have to laugh at the bunk they spread all over the newspapers.
Every time somebody hears a rumor or gets an idea he flashes it out
on the front page in huge black print. The papers are full of
speculation as to what will happen where and when. It sounds to me
as though the home front thought the surrender of Italy practically
ended the war. We received the news over the radio while underway
for the invasion. We took it with little excitement. We had been
expecting it any day and also knew that the fighting would still be
plenty tough. I guess the people at home thought that would mean a
victory much through Italy. I would say that it was nearer another
Dunkirk.""The Germans still have lots of fight left in them, and
the war still has lots of months left in it."--an excerpt of a
letter from Ensign R.C. Linnell to his parents, October 3, 1943This
endearing collection of letters written before, during, and after
some of most intense invasions of World War II provides insight
into a bygone era. "Letters from a War Hero" is a priceless account
of American history entwined with a beautiful love story.
