What They Called Freedom
A Cult Survival Novel Inspired by Peoples Temple and Jonestown By Frank Coulter
Length2h 47m
About this audiobook
She crossed an ocean to escape a country that had never wanted her alive. What is the true price of being promised, at last, a home?
Della Mae Whitfield came to Peoples Temple the way thousands of Black Americans did in the 1970s — drawn by a white preacher who put Black faces in the front pews, fed the hungry, and called integration a sacrament. She gave the movement her savings, her name, her children, believing each surrender brought her closer to a promised land in the Guyanese jungle. By the time she understood the paradise was a cage, the rehearsals for death already had a name.
What They Called Freedom follows one woman from a genuine welcome to the morning that took nearly everyone she loved — restoring the story a country flattened into a punchline to the people who actually died: overwhelmingly Black, overwhelmingly women and children, betrayed first by a nation and then by the man who promised to save them from it.
