Inside the Book
The devastating first-hand account of three sisters' courageous struggle to escape a perverse community that robbed them of their childhood. Celeste, Kristina and Juliana were born into a cult - The Children of God. But their experiences were a world away from the traditional Christian understanding of 'love' and 'forgiveness'. The organisation that was entrusted with their care practised physical and mental torture, thought control, pornography, prostitution and horrific acts of sexual abuse. From as early as 3 years old, the three sisters were treated by their 'guardians' as sexual beings. They received love letters and sexual advances from men old enough to be their grandfathers, and were forced into openly abusive relationships. They were denied access to formal schooling, forced to beg on the streets for money, and were mercilessly beaten for 'crimes' as unpredictable as reading an encyclopaedia. Here, all three sisters, who suffered the worst forms of abuse, and were torn apart from each other, have finally been reunited. In Not Without My Sister, they relive their experiences of how they survived - and then escaped - a cult that has claimed the lives and innocence of thousands of its members. Theirs is a horrific story of perversion and loss but, ultimately, it is an account of immense love and immeasurable bravery.
