The Good Little Girl: She Stayed Quiet for a Very Long Time...

On her eleventh birthday, Annette received a cowgirl suit from her parents, a gift she adored. Eager to show it off, she headed to her favorite playground in a nearby park. But when she returned home later, her new outfit was dirty and torn, her body scraped and bruised. Her parents asked what had happened, but Annette remained silent—she didn't know how to explain. That silence would last for years.

In this powerful autobiography, Annette recounts a life shaped by trauma. After suffering a brutal assault as a child, she withdrew into herself, unable to face the pain. Years later, in search of healing, she was introduced to a personal development group called Kenja, which soon consumed her life. Devoted to the cult's leaders, Annette abandoned her home, children, job, and financial security, pouring her life savings into its courses and recruiting others to join.

As the years passed, Annette realized she had given everything to Kenja but received nothing in return. Her sense of self had been replaced by dependency on the group. Trapped, she longed to escape but couldn’t break free from the grip of manipulation and abuse.

After witnessing further horrors, Annette finally took action. Betrayed and ostracized by the only community she had ever known, she embarked on a quest for justice—determined to hold Kenja’s leader accountable and reclaim her life. The Good Little Girl is Annette’s moving story of survival, courage, and the pursuit of redemption, from a traumatic childhood to a hard-won triumph.
