À propos de cet audio

A deliciously witty and inspiring memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free.

In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult.

An only child who often had to fend for herself and always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister—a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse, and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. Family “minders” assigned to her on set, “Maoist struggle session”–inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counseling with “Leadership” were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal.

Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to leave and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill superfan), she finally managed to escape the family’s grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered her relationship with God and her understanding of faith.

Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.

Raw and real

As an original OTH fan, I was so excited to listen to this audiobook. Joy does an incredible job drawing you in to each character. Her story is heartbreaking, and so compelling - a true gem.

Incredible.

Such a powerful story of finding freedom read beautifully by the author. This one will live with me for a long time.

Thoughtful and raw

I’ve gotta tell you I love this audiobook not just because it’s a good story all around, but also just the way Bethany tells it it’s like a story you just get wrapped up in it and you want to keep listening. So happy I got this book.

SOOOO GOOD!

If you’re a fan of OTC or you love a good cult story, this is your perfect match. It’s crazy that you can be so invested in a show as a teenager and feel so connected to the characters and as a result maybe even the actors, but learn many many years later that you knew nothing about them at all. Joy’s story is hard to hear because what she went through in her personal life was unfair and it’s especially so sucky because Hailey and Nathan had such a special love story that it’s hard to imagine that that couldn’t be further from Joy’s own experience. I also love when actor authors narrate their own stories, it’s much more meaningful hearing it all in her own voice.

For Fans of One Tree Hill and Cults

This book was phenomenal. I laughed, I cried, I screamed. I also realized that I was totally in a cult too. Yikes. Bethany Joy Lenz told the story beautifully and so emotionally. I’m so glad I listened to it instead of just read it. I highly recommend it!

Epic retelling of a wild experience

Brilliant

This story was so beautifully written. Taking us on a devastating, inspiring, and eye-opening journey. It truly showcased the idea that you never know what someone else is going through. It was so well written and so well read. Bethany reading her own words was magnificent. She added so much character to her own words that it felt like a close friend telling you about their drama. I was drawn into every word and I thoroughly enjoyed every emotion it brought me.

A beautifully written and read journey of emotions

I absolutely loved listening to Joy read her story here. It was throughly entertaining. As a one tree hill fan it was crazy to hear all she's been through while still totally rocking haley James Scott. Highly recommend!!!!

Such an interesting story!

So glad I purchased the audible book so I could hear Joy narrate her story. From the different voices to singing, it made it such an enjoyable and emotional experience unlike any other audible book I’ve read. I couldn’t stop listening and finished in two days, which was not expected. She is truly such a talented artist and inspiration and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Maybe Broadway?? OTH reboot?? Highly recommend!!!!
