What happens when your whole life has been controlled by the
confines of a cult, and you finally break free? Bek Condello's
experience within the doomsday cult Geelong Revival Centre is
what begins her new book, Can You Handle A Girl Like Me, but it's
what she does after leaving that is truly surprising. We talk
about the writing process of this powerful memoir, breaking free
from the cult but still being married to someone in it, and Bek's
journey of transformation in her 'second adolescence' once she
was free.

First, Read is hosted by Charle Malycon, and this episode's guest
is Bek Condello.
