About this listen
Anne Marie Allen was 15 when she was accepted onto a cookery school course that promised real qualifications and a future in the career of her dreams. Her happiness was short-lived as it became clear she had been tricked instead into a life of domestic servitude to the members of the Opus Dei cult.
What followed were years of misery in slavery, forced celibacy and traumatic physical suffering under an ambitious and tyrannical institution that demanded perfection, humiliation and pain.
Eventually Anne Marie's family managed to coerce a visit home where they refused to let her return to the Order, and where they began the long process of deprogramming her – a task that has been a lifelong struggle. Serve is a truly remarkable story of strength and resilience in the face of religious zealotry.
