SYNOPSIS: Here is the full, uncut, inside story, told by the person who lived in Jim Jones' home, idolized his wife, cared for his children, and toiled for his cause...until the sexual perversion, the blackmail, and the insanity of the cult forced her to defect at the age of 28. Bonnie Thielmann's devotion to the raven-haired preacher-turned-god cost her marriage, her faith, her peace of mind--and nearly her life. Only at the last moment, in Georgetown, Guyana, did Congressman Leo Ryan prevent her from following him on to Jonestown, where her paranoid "father" had issued orders to gun her down. She had been just 16 years old when she first met Jim and Marceline Jones. The place was Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where she--a missionary's daughter who spoke fluent Portuguese--soon moved in with the new family from Indianapolis to help them get settled in a strange land. But they had known one another before--or so the Joneses told her later. The three of them had been father, mother, and daughter in earlier lifetimes, centuries ago. And now, in this one, their destinies were locked in a desperate mission to bring racial equality and socialism to the earth under the name of Peoples Temple. Bonnie Thielmann's return to normalcy and a God she could trust make this a book you cannot afford to miss. She would have given him everything...and almost did. -and-Why do normal, intelligent people join a cult? Once they understand what's going on, why do they stay? How could hundreds of people willingly commit suicide? Will it happen again? Bonnie Thielmann's amazing story demonstrates the answers to such gnawing questions. It shows how the prejudices and shortcomings of mainstream society give rise to dangerous groups. It also shows the power of divine love to surround a shattered human being and restore her to wholeness and balance. The whole world knows that happened the dreadful evening of November 18, 1978, in Jonestown. This is the book that explains why.
