My Stolen ChiIdhood Inside the Twelve Tribes Yellow Deli Cult

Описание: Born into the secretive and highly controlled world of the Twelve Tribes, Meleah never knew life outside the group. From her earliest memories, every part of her existence was regulated—what she wore, what she thought, how she spoke, and even how she played. ChiIdhood was not a time for imagination or freedom. It was training. In this isolated communal society, chiIdren were raised to obey instantly and without question. Play was replaced with productivity. Even family bonds were fragile, as parents could be sent away at any moment, leaving chiIdren to be raised and disciplined by strangers within the community.

As Meleah grew older, she began to see the cracks in the system. She realized that the utopia she had been promised was built on fear, man*pulation, and silence. At just 17, she made the terrifying decision to escape. But freedom came with its own challenges. Thrust suddenly into the modern world, she faced overwhelming culture shock, loneliness, and the painful process of rebuilding her identity from nothing.
