In this personal account, Lilia Tarawa exposes the shocking secrets of the cult, with its rigid rules and oppressive control of women. She describes her fear when her family questioned Gloriavale's beliefs and practices. When her parents fled with their children, Lilia was forced to make a desperate choice: to stay or to leave. No matter what she chose, she would lose people she loved. In the outside world, Lilia struggled. Would she be damned to hell for leaving? How would she learn to navigate this strange place called 'the world'? And would she ever find out the truth about the criminal convictions against her grandfather?

Memoirs

Leonie Howie and Adele Robertson live and work on remote Great Barrier Island—so called because it faces the full brunt of the wild Pacific weather and acts as a barrier for the mainland about 100 kilometers away. With a population of about 1000, no reticulated electricity, no ATM, no street lights, and one pub, this is a wildly beautiful place. It has a long history of farming, whaling, and fishing, and the people who live here are a resilient lot, proud of their community. Midwifery and nursing on a remote island bring a wide range of dramas and emergencies, and here Adele and Leonie share the islanders' stories—sometimes tragic, sometimes happy, sometimes funny—from more than 30 years of challenging yet uplifting work.
