Author Description

About the Author Caroline Green is a mother of three who was forced to escape from a religious cult after sixteen years of captivity. She is now studying for a nursing degree. Product Description Starting from her beginnings in an isolated church school run by an oppressive Christian cult, this narrative recounts how Caroline Green remained imprisoned by them for sixteen years as they continually attempted to brainwash her. The author’s determination is brought to light as she refused to be controlled, consistently receiving punishment for her disobedience until her spirit was gradually crushed. Her marriage to the son of one of the cult’s founders is related as well as the poor treatment her three subsequent children began to receive. Illustrating how Caroline was torn between her fear of what God would do to her family if they left and her desperate attempts to protect her children, this autobiography depicts how her outrage reached its peak when her son was brutally beaten following a schoolboy prank. Her escape with her children and only five pounds in her pocket is described, as well as the financial and emotional effects she suffered. This incredible memoir is a powerful example of endurance, determination, and survival.
