Juliana Buhring

    Juliana Buhring è un'autrice e ciclista britannico-tedesca di ultra-resistenza. La sua scrittura esplora i temi del superamento dei limiti fisici e mentali umani e della profonda connessione tra lo sforzo fisico e il mondo interiore. Il suo stile è penetrante e personale, riflette le sue esperienze uniche di viaggi estremi ed esamina cosa significhi ridefinire i confini del possibile. Buhring offre ai lettori uno spaccato dell'indomabile potere dello spirito umano.

    Not Without My Sister
    Essere innocenti. La vera storia di tre sorelle e della loro infanzia rubata
    • 2008

      Kristina, Celeste, and Juliana were all born into the Children of God cult, and from as early as three years old were mistreated and used as sexual beings. They were denied access to formal schooling, forced to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for "crimes" as harmless as reading an encyclopedia. After being separated from each other and their mothers and forced to live in various missions with multiple foster parents, the sisters eventually managed to escape. In this startling exposé, they have come together to reveal in horrific detail the group that has destroyed the lives of so many. Their intertwining stories reveal a community spread throughout the world whose legacy of anorexia, depression, drug abuse, suicide, and even murder are impossible to erase. Together, the sisters found a strength that finally enabled them to uncover and free themselves from the shadows of their past.
