7 Signs You Might Be in a Cult

Have you ever wondered if the group you’re part of is really healthy—or if it’s something far more controlling?

7 Signs You Might Be in a Cult is a powerful and personal guide written by Kellesia Sharay, who spent thirty-five years inside a cult before finding the courage to walk away. Drawing from her lived experience and insider perspective, Sharay reveals the subtle and not-so-subtle warning signs that turn ordinary groups into systems of manipulation and control.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The red flags of toxic leadership—why a leader who can’t be questioned is dangerous.
• How “us vs. them” thinking isolates you from friends, family, and outside voices.
• The ways cults control daily life—from clothing and careers to relationships and even private choices.
• How fear and guilt keep members trapped, long after belief has faded.
• Why leaving feels impossible, and the hidden costs many pay when they finally walk away.

Each chapter ends with reflective questions, making this not only a survivor’s story but also a practical tool to help readers evaluate their own experiences. Whether you are currently in a group, have left one, or are supporting someone who has, this book offers clarity, courage, and hope.

Sharay’s message is simple but life-changing: freedom is possible, healing is real, and you are not alone.
