Synopsis

This is a true account. Many accounts of cult involvement are dramatised but what you are about to read is what actually happened. Some names have been changed.

In 1991 our son, Steve, decided to use his gap year before going to University in England to travel to the United States with his friend, Tom. They were going to traverse America from New York to San Francisco on a Greyhound bus, but their plans were changed at the last minute when Steve received an offer to work as a volunteer at a Nature Reserve on a Scottish Island. Tom decided he could not wait, so he set off for Hawaii alone and they agreed to meet up there later. Once Steve returned from his 3 months stay in Scotland, he packed his bags and camping gear and flew to San Francisco. His plan was to travel alone from there to Eureka, some 300 miles north of San Francisco and then fly onwards to Hawaii to join Tom.

My fears for Steve’s safety whilst travelling and camping alone were swiftly overtaken when I discovered that, during his brief stay in San Francisco, he had become entangled with the Unification Church, commonly known as The Moonies.

I wrote this book in the hope that as well as laying some ghosts for myself, it would also help others in similar situations. There are ways and means of achieving goals and if you follow your immediate gut instincts, you can often spoil your only chance of success. I can offer you some help and some hope within these pages.
