What would make ordinary people leave everything they know to join a cult? That’s a question which fascinates most of us and is answered in Megan Norris’ new book ‘The Messiah’s Bride’.

Investigative journalist Megan Norris unravels the story of Stefanie Hinrich’s lost childhood, and how the teenage girl brought self-proclaimed Messiah William Kamm, one of Australia’s most dangerous sex predators, to justice. In this powerful yet heartbreaking story, Megan explores Stefanie’ survival, how cults operate, institutionalised abuse and more.

Megan joined Irene Diakanastasis on 2SER for a chat about her new release.
