It might be a good read for this friend's granddaughter. It was a National Book Award finalist around 2014.
Also very well written and thoughtful about just about everything. Is one of the really deep books you find once in a great while.

Well-written post-apocalyptic dystopian novels are awesome, one of my favorite genres.
If she's a reader and this was suggested, it might very well plant that seed of doubt for her. From there, she could have the inspiration she needs to explore her "need" to affiliate with this cult.
