Guinevere Turner, Part 1 - The Lyman Family, Compound Life, and Queen Jessie

from Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and Manipulation · host Exactly Right and iHeartPodcasts

In part one of her two-part interview, Guinevere Turner, renowned screenwriter (writer of films like American Psycho and Charlie Says), actress, and author of new memoir When The World Didn't End, talks about growing up in the Lyman Family cult, bouncing around between different compounds, and being raised by women in the group who were not her mother. She discusses the trippy teachings of leader Mel Lyman, what it was like joining the caravan of the group's "queen" as a child, and the punishment and ostracization she and the other children frequently experienced.
