Juliana Buhring

About the Author

Juliana Buhring is a courageous author and survivor whose writing sheds light on the harrowing realities of exploitation and resilience within closed communities. Born into the controversial Children of God cult, she endured years of abuse and indoctrination before breaking free to reclaim her life and voice. Her debut memoir, Not Without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed by Those They Trusted, co-authored with her sisters, offers a raw and unflinching account of their shared trauma, escape, and journey toward healing. Buhring's narrative not only exposes the dark underbelly of cult dynamics but also celebrates the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood and the power of truth-telling. Now an advocate for survivors worldwide, she continues to inspire through her advocacy work and commitment to empowering those silenced by systemic abuse.
