Abode of Love: Growing Up in a Messianic Cult Paperback - 2007
by Kate Barlow
From the rear cover
Abode of Love is Kate Barlow's remarkable story of growing up in a religious cult. In 1948, she and her mother went to live with her two sisters, her grandmother, and some 20 elderly ladies at the Agapemone, a ramshackle estate in the village of Spaxton in southwest England. Young Kate's curiosity about her new home and her family was met with a wall of secrecy, but at age 14 she had pieced together enough of the story to understand the rest. Founded in the nineteenth century, the Agapemone (Greek for "abode of love") was led by her grandfather, who claimed to be the reincarnation of the Messiah. What's more, her grandmother was not his legal wife, but his "spiritual bride," and some of the other ladies who lived at the estate had also been his consorts.
