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.

Saw a friend reading this book and got curious as it's about the cult Children of God.

Three different perspectives, not exactly linear, but linear enough.

This time Macau was mentioned only in passing. I was curious to know if any other historical-stuff were mentioned about Macau. Thanks to my having read the other book, "Sex Cult Nun" first, I already had some general knowledge of the Macau base.

This just goes to show, even children will eventually realise what is fair/right. It really made my blood boil when I read about the unfair treatment (the tattle-tales lying, and the adults believing the liars without proof and such).
