[[Image:Nwms-cover-120dpi.jpg|thumb|300px|Book cover]] On July 2, [[2007]], HarperElement (a [[UK]] division of Harper Collins) published '''"Not Without My Sister"''' by sisters [[Juliana Buhring]], [[Celeste Jones]] and [[Kristina Jones]]. The book detailed their experiences being raised in the [[Children of God]]/[[The Family]] and was the first such book to be published by former [[second generation]] [[:Category:Current and Former Members|members]]. The book has done very well. The first printing of 50000 copies sold out within a couple months and was a bestseller in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Australia]]. When the paperback edition of the book was released in the UK on January 7, [[2008]], it quickly reached the number 1 position in the Nielsen BookScan list of best-selling non-fiction paperbacks and stayed there for several weeks until the first week of March 2008 when it to the number 3 position.<ref>"Saturday Review: Top 10 non-fiction paperbacks," ''The Guardian,'' 2008-02-09.</ref><ref>"Saturday Review: Top 10 non-fiction paperbacks," ''The Guardian,'' 2008-02-23.</ref><ref>"Saturday Review: Top 10 non-fiction paperbacks," ''The Guardian,'' 2008-03-08.</ref> The book is scheduled to be released in the [[United States]] in April 2008. ==Press coverage== * [[Madison: We were forced to obey: Life Inside The Children of God]] &mdash; 2007-07-01 * [[Bristol Evening Post: Suffer little children]] &mdash; 2007-07-18 * [[Daily Mail: Enslaved by the cult of sex...for 25 years]] &mdash; 2007-07-12 * [[Bristol Evening Post: Suffer little children]] &mdash; 2007-07-18 * [[Western Daily Press: Free of cult's clutches to tell their harrowing story]] &mdash; 2007-07-18 * [[Limerick Post: Castleconnell in cult claim]] &mdash; 2007-08-08 * [[Nottingham Evening Post: Cult pictures of innocence]] &mdash; 2007-08-16 * [[Nottingham Evening Post: Woman tells of escape from cult]] &mdash; 2007-08-16 * [[Irish Independent: 'When I left The Family, I had sadness and pain and worry.
