Not Without My Sister: The True Story Of Three Sisters Violated And Betrayed By Those They Trusted

The devastating account of three sisters, torn apart and forced to suffer abuse and exploitation at the hands of a community that robbed them of their childhood. They reveal three lives, separate but entwined, that have experienced unspeakable horror, unrelenting loyalty and unforgettable courage. From as early as 3 years old, Julianna, Celeste and Kristina were treated by their 'guardians' as sexual beings. They were made to watch and mimic orgies, received love letters and sexual advances from men old enough to be their grandfather, and were forced into incestuous relationships that barely went unhidden. They were denied access to formal schooling, forced instead to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for 'crimes' as unpredictable as reading an encyclopaedia. Now the three sisters have finally come together to reveal in full and horrific detail their existence within a group that has destroyed the lives of so many.
