In this episode of Unplugged and Unbound, we dive deep into Desiree’s thought-provoking novel, The Perfect Sister. Join me as we unravel the twisted paradox of a community that promises empowerment but thrives on control and exploitation.

We’ll explore the book’s biggest themes—utopian ideals, generational trauma, and the complexities of motherhood—and highlight unforgettable moments like Pandora’s fiery confrontation with Khalin, the revelation of Erin’s fate, and Raven’s journey of shaking off the cult mindset she grew up with.

How do we break free from systems that claim to protect us but ultimately harm us? What does it take to rebuild trust after betrayal? This book raises tough questions, and we’re here to unpack them all.

Tune in for a discussion full of heart, insight, and a few surprises along the way. Let’s get unbound!
