À propos de cet audio
The shocking and subversive memoir of a 12-year-NXIVM-member-turned-whistleblower, and her inspiring true story of abuse, escape, and redemption.
"Master, would you brand me? It would be an honor."
Scarred follows actress Sarah Edmondson's account of her recruitment into the NXIVM cult, founded by Keith Raniere. It narrates in detail the 12 years she spent within the organization, during which she enrolled over 2,000 members, chronicling her breaking point and her harrowing fight to get out, help others, and heal.
- Complete with personal photographs, this tell-all follows Sarah from the moment she takes her first NXIVM seminar, to the invitation she accepts from her best friend, Lauren Salzman, into DOS - a "secret sisterhood" within the cult - to her journey toward becoming a key witness in the federal case against its founders.
- Listeners will learn how cults like NXIVM get started, why people get involved (and stay), and the importance of whistleblowers who bring light to illegal and unethical practices.
- Sarah Edmondson is a Canadian actress and playwright who has starred in the CBS series Salvation and more than 12 films for the Hallmark Channel and Lifetime. She is featured in the CBC podcast Uncover: Escaping NXIVM and The Vow, the upcoming HBO documentary series on NXIVM.
Scarred isn't just about NXIVM. It is also a story about abuses of power, the role female friendships play in cults, and how sometimes the search to be "better" can override everything else.
- A thrilling listen for fans of true crime and cults, as well as listeners of podcasts like My Favorite Murder and Up and Vanished.
- Great for fans of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology by Leah Remini, Escape by Carolyn Jessop, Beyond Belief by Jenna Miscavige Hill, and Bad Blood by John Carreyrou.
- Evokes questions about friendship, ethics, good, and evil, making it a perfect selection for book clubs.

©2019 Sarah Edmondson and Kristine Gasbarre (P)2019 Hachette AudioHowever, this story, Sarah's story is not the seedy E True Hollywood Story you would expect from a story ripped from the headline. It is an objectively engaging story, tense yes, messed up TOTALLY, but give me one woman that wouldn't blindly follow their best friend without question, and I will give you a liar. I can see myself in that room, I can relate to that feeling of wanting to be a part of something bigger than yourself, to show how strong you are regardless of what you are doing to prove it. I feel the insecurity they felt sitting there naked, I felt myself cupping my own pooch while listening as if I was there right along side them.
The story was intense, but not in a way where I felt she was ever defeated at any point of the story, yeah, Lauren persuaded her to join on Laurens word alone. The idea of collateral is not unheard as a motivator, though, sure, it normally comes in the form of maybe a swear jar, But this was her sister, her best friend, the God mother to her child, the maid of honour at her wedding, Sarah had already made that vow to Lauren a long time ago, she had entrusted the most precious things she had in her possession to Lauren, her friendship.
5 stars HIGHLY recommend.
