The Turning: River Road (Season 3) is about Lindsay Tornambe who at 13 years old, was chosen by the leader of her family’s cult for a special role. She became one of the youngest Maidens of River Road Fellowship in rural Minnesota. After a ritualistic ceremony that married her and other girls to their leader, she endured more than a decade of mental and physical abuse, hidden from outsiders. But Lindsay and a friend decided to escape. They became the whistleblowers who prompted an international manhunt in 2014. It would bring the entire cult crumbling to the ground.

On the first season - great story telling. The theme music at the end of each episode is perfection in the way it evokes uncertainty, wonder, sadness and hope in an original and unforgettable way. Love it.
Season one is captivating. I am not remotely religious, and get very turned off by what humans have turned religion into. This podcast was incredible storytelling with such delicate stories of trauma. Brave ladies for sharing their truths. Thank you
There are so many lessons to be learned here from the VERY brave women who recount their stories. I keep returning to the word gaslighting, and how so many of us fall prey to it in various ways. I, too, grew up in a kind of Christian evangelical cult (which is normalized) and I joined the military to get out of it. I’m grateful.
This was such a touching episode I couldn’t stop listening. The voice of Lindsey was easy to listen to and she could slip back into the past effortlessly to help the listener understand what she lived through. I listened to all three seasons, but season three was by far the best. I will recommend it to anyone looking for an inspiring podcast.
