“Honest, brutal, funny, fascinating. An important reminder of how vital it is to trust ourselves.”—Jenny Lawson, NYT bestselling author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy “Dinavahi has hacked her way through a forest of horrors, and emerged funnier, wiser, and more optimistic than most. I loved this big-hearted debut, and look forward to reading more from her astonishing voice.”—Priyanka Mattoo, author of Bird Milk & Mosquito Bones “Dinavahi has accomplished something spectacular here. She tells a story of joining and leaving a cult without sensationalizing. There is a masterful balance between the minutia of her life, and the underlying forces—mental health, patriarchy, racism—that ruled it. And the voice! Darkly funny and beautifully heartfelt. Fearlessly empathetic yet always unflinching, this is everything a memoir should be. The True Happiness Company is a triumph.”—Ruben Reyes Jr., author of There is No Rio Grande in Heaven
