The Bombara Story Collection. For fans of the books "The Pupil" and "The Daughter's Tale".
A shocking true story of a girl who lived in the cult "Children of God" and was the granddaughter of its founder, David Brandt Berg. One of the most twisted cults of the 20th century, it had over 60,000 permanent members and 1 million sympathizers in 170 countries. The cult leader convinced his followers that the end of the world was near, taught that sex was the path to God, and preached free love.
Extreme poverty, hard labor, endless control and obedience, physical punishment, and public humiliation - this was the childhood and teenage years of Faith Jones. With unwavering resilience, she lived in this nightmare, creating her own world by stealing books and independently studying high school curriculum. A heart-wrenching story of life inside a cult and an inspiring tale of a girl's coming of age who managed to break free from it.
"Faith Jones's story evokes a range of emotions: sympathy, fear, sadness, and sometimes genuine anger. The book is not about the cult. It is a journey into the inner world of a woman who faced sexual abuse from an early age. The self-reflection she conducts on the pages of the book can resonate with many women and provide support to those who have been victims of violence." - Polina Devochkina, sexologist, blogger.
