The bestselling, devastating account of three sisters torn apart,
abused and exploited at the hands of a community that robbed them
of their childhood. It reveals three lives, separate but entwined,
that have experienced unspeakable horror, unrelenting loyalty and
unforgettable courage. From as early as three years old, Juliana,
Celeste and Kristina were separated from their parents and
physically and sexually abused by their 'guardians' in the infamous
religious cult known as the Children of God. They were made to
watch and mimic orgies, received love letters and sexual advances
from men old enough to be their grandfather, and were forced into
abusive relationships. They were denied access to formal schooling
and medical care, had to busk on the streets, beg for money, and
were mercilessly beaten for 'crimes' as unpredictable as reading an
encyclopaedia. Finally, unable to live with the guilt of what had
happened to her children, their mother escaped with Kristina and
her younger siblings, cutting herself off from Celeste in a bid to
save her remaining children. Desperate to save her sister, Kristina
eventually began a search to find Celeste,but it would be many
years until Celeste found the courage to escape, wanting freedom
and a different future for the child she was carrying. The suicide
of one of their sisters drove Juliana to exit the group a couple of
years later. Now the three sisters have finally come together to
reveal in full and horrific detail their existence within the
Children of God cult. Their stories reveal a community spread
throughout the world and its legacy of anorexia, depression, drug
abuse, suicide and even murder. Lives are ripped apart and
painstakingly mended with a shared strength that finally enabled
the sisters to free themselves from the shadows of their past.
