I hope my story will inspire you to have the courage to break free and the audacity to be you.

Be happy. You deserve it.

My new book, Trapped: My years in the sect the Children of God and how I got free, is my own story about the 40 years I was in the cult, living in their colonies in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Nepal, India and Thailand. Then I talk about what it was in the end made me leave, and about the incredible struggle it was to try to rebuild my life.

(For now the book is only available in Swedish. Hopefully coming in Norwegian and English very soon.)

One of the biggest surprises I have had in sharing my story with others, is that people from all walks of life find my story so relatable. Your story will help many people, they said.

At first I didn't undestand why. After all, they didn't have the same background that I had.

Many said are in a job they hate, or working for a boss they don’t get along with, or stuck in bad and even abusive relationships of all kinds. 

They pretend, to themselves and others, that they are happy and content, when deep inside they know it is not true.

Because of choices they make or don’t make, they abandon their dreams and settle for a life that is less than it could have been. Just like I did.
