JONESTOWN SURVIVOR: An Insider's Look

Book Description

JONESTOWN SURVIVOR: An Insider's Look is my autobiography. I self-published with iUniverse in 2010. I was one of the few survivors of Peoples Temple members living in Guyana, South America. On November 18, 1978, 918 people died in a horrific tragedy. I have written my story of how I found the Temple, how I lived in it, and how I survived the traumatic loss of my dream and my adopted family.
