Memoirs of a girl who escaped from the famous religious sex cult “Children of God.” The book is being made into a TV series starring Dakota Johnson. Beccy's hippie parents joined the religious sect "Children of God" because they believed in free love. But for the children, life in the commune meant only hard work, corporal punishment, public humiliation and endless control. Beccy was only ten years old when she was punished with a “silence restriction,” prohibiting her from speaking to anyone for an entire year. The sect practiced prostitution and pedophilia; members of the cult constantly moved, hiding from the police and the FBI. At the age of fifteen, Beccy ran away from the sect, leaving behind her parents and eleven brothers and sisters. Many years later, she again sets out on a journey to religious communes scattered throughout America to find out how children, like her, live there, who have become hostages of worlds created by fanatics. This incredible journey not only reveals the terrible underbelly of religious communities and sects, but also shows how you can come to terms with your past and heal from the trauma inflicted by your parents.
