Since some people are currently boycotting Amazon, my books are also now available at “books.by/”: https://books.by/bonniezieman. Because this new site asks that customers contribute $5.00 for shipping, I have lowered the prices of all books as compared to Amazon where shipping is free. Thus the variation in prices between the two sites. Either way, you will enjoy great books (fiction and non-fiction) that get stellar reviews!

NOBODY’S THRALL is my first novel. It parachutes the reader into a fictional congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, in New England, in 1998. Non-JWs and ex-JWs alike will find the characters compelling and the plot suspenseful and exciting. Non-JW editors said they loved the characters and plotlines and found the conditions under which Jehovah’s Witness members live both enlightening and shocking. Paperback and eBook versions are available HERE.

This new book meets the urgent need of cult victims to help their therapists really comprehend what they experienced while in a cult and the damaging consequences they have to deal with once out. While it was designed with therapists in mind, if you have family or friends who do not quite understand the extent of the abuse you endured at the hands of cult leaders, give them this book. It is available HERE.
