Synopsis
Kristina, Celeste, and Juliana were all born into the Children of God cult, and from as early as three years old were mistreated and used as sexual beings. They were denied access to formal schooling, forced to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for "crimes" as harmless as reading an encyclopedia. After being separated from each other and their mothers and forced to live in various missions with multiple foster parents, the sisters eventually managed to escape. In this startling exposé, they have come together to reveal in horrific detail the group that has destroyed the lives of so many. Their intertwining stories reveal a community spread throughout the world whose legacy of anorexia, depression, drug abuse, suicide, and even murder are impossible to erase. Together, the sisters found a strength that finally enabled them to uncover and free themselves from the shadows of their past.

October 14, 2008: Not Without my sister is a compelling book that gives us insight to cults and pologamist beliefs. I read this book with a heavy heart, and these girls suffered and endured more then anything I've ever heard of, but what's more sickening is that these cults exist in todays world and must be stopped, especially if a child is born into it and doesn't have a chance. My heart goes out to Kristina, Celeste, and Juliana for their bravery, courage, and strength to bring out what happened to them so others could learn about it and public awareness. I'm glad to know that they were strong enough to fight through and free themselves of this horrible life. I'm sure there will always be scars etched forever in their minds, but what a wonderful story on how they thrived and succeeded in life to be productive human beings. God bless you girls.
