This is the second book in Le Guin's Earthsea Trilogy. The Tombs of Atuan. It's a short, easy read. Poetic and poignant. I found this story very moving. We all read into stories what we want, but the story of moving out of darkness and into the light of freedom was powerful. The trauma of being trapped in a dogmatic ideology only to discover there is a greater world out there is very well described by Le Guin. And even when you move into the light of freedom doesn't mean the demons of the past are easily conquered.
