Part 4/9:
A pivotal moment in Julia’s life was her daring escape at age 21. Surrounded by decades of secrecy and fear, Julia’s decision to leave her oppressive environment was driven purely by her instincts and a desire for freedom. Under the cover of night, with her sister by her side, she left everything behind—her home, her life of control, and her identity within the cult.
The escape was both slow and surreal. Julia describes it as happening in "slow motion," with her intuition as her guide, symbolized by the bright stars that night, seemingly leading her way out. She recalls writing her escape letter, which is included in her upcoming book, "Woman Rising," as a testament to her courage and the beginning of her new life.
