Cult Child Kindle Edition
Embark on a gripping memoir that delves into the profound depths of Sila Caprin's tumultuous journey. From the tender age of three, Sila finds herself ensnared within the clutches of an evangelical, end-times cult known as Sam Fife's Move of God. Within the towering walls of isolation, she is thrust into a realm detached from the outside world, confined to the two compounds that shape her existence.
Yet, amidst the suffocating grasp of this foreign and desolate environment, Sila's spirit burns bright, an unwavering flame that defies the darkness that seeks to consume her. Cult Child invites you into Sila's world, as she narrates her harrowing experiences through the prism of her own eyes and thoughts, offering an intimate and profound perspective of her arduous journey.
As Sila traverses the treacherous path towards adolescence, her determination ignites like a flickering ember, and she dares to dream of escape. Within the pages of this memoir, witness the intricacies of her plotting, the blossoming of her spirit, and the threads of hope interwoven amidst the tapestry of her existence. Yet, just as her plans take shape, a sudden incident shatters the fragile equilibrium, forever altering the course of her life.
With haunting prose and raw emotion, Cult Child unveils the heart-wrenching tale of resilience and transformation, painting a vivid portrait of a life irrevocably changed by the shadows of a clandestine world.
"Poignant, gripping and ultimately triumphant, Vennie Kocsis' "Cult Child" will leave you inspired by the pure strength of will that children use to cope themselves through trauma. Her fortress is no bigger than the space between her ears; but through quiet internal resistance, Sila halts her opponents and outlasts their ten year siege." Dolon Hickmon, author of "13:24".- LanguageEnglish

If I was involved in a cult I know my character would be recruiting, I could relate to what Esther was doing and I hated it.
Early on in the book you talk about the wet mouth feeling of nausea, by the end of this story I realised I understood all too clearly what you were talking about it.
I don't read literature like this anymore because I can't cope with it but having come across you on Fb I decided to go for it. I will have nightmares and flashbacks of a story I never lived. I can only say to whoever lived this: I have listened, I hear your words.
Enjoy a mind not occupied by god, what a load of bollocks, life destroying crap that is and always will be until we wake up.
Well done on writing this book, it can't have been easy, the mind is so fickle as it is, add traumatised memory loss and you are left to scrap together the pieces. I don't believe in leaving legacies but I understand why you have written this x

An excellent story, and I'd be interested in reading a sequel.
