Is it possible to buy the book "the story of davidito"?

Answer 1

I'm afraid not - unless you join "The Children of God" (aka "The Family.)

"At the age of 2 years and 3 months Davidito is taken to a brothel and in the early hours one of the girls "gave a special little show for Davidito with her gyrations and heavy breathing, running her hands over her body, really turning everybody on"
Lord Justice Ward refering to the Davidito book in his 1995 UK judgement"

Little in recent years has been heard of the Children of God. But in January, on a lonely desert highway in Arizona, 29-year-old Ricky Rodriguez - the son of the cult's leader, Karen Zerby, and the stepson of its late founder, David Berg - brutally stabbed to death his former nanny, Angela Smith, 51. He said she had sexually abused him as a child. He then shot himself in the head. Five years ago, Rodriguez had lived in the Family's commune near Luton. Susan knew him personally, from when the lived in a commune in Hungary.

In a video Rodriguez made before he died, he said it was really his mother he wanted to kill - "and then all I need is one bullet for myself". His revenge has reverberated through the dozen Family communes hidden away in secret locations around the UK, including the one in Hertfordshire which Abi Freeman shares with eight others. She says that there are now 8,000 cult members worldwide, including 400 in this country, of which only the hard core - about 100 - live in communes.

Rodriguez's death has caused former members to come forward with their stories of abuse. Susan is telling her story for the first time.

Known in the cult as Davidito, Rodriguez was no ordinary member. He was once heir apparent to the Family. His childhood, involving sexual abuse in the name of "free love", was not only chronicled and photographed in a Children of God book but was held up as the prototype of how to raise their own children.

He was also the product of the cult's controversial practice of "flirty fishing", which started in the Seventies in London. The cult sent women members out into society in order to seduce and recruit men. "Hookers for Jesus" they were called. His own mother was one, and she conceived Rodriguez with a stranger whom she "flirty fished".


Try the fourth link, though, for a "Family Diary."

1.) I believe that it's definitely "possible" to write a 100% original work, but extremely hard. In my opinion, books started getting very similar to each other 125-175 years ago. Just when you think it's all over for the era of creativity, along come Jules Verne. Now, all of a sudden, you have a whole new category opened up (Science Fiction). My point? When it seems that there's nothing left untouched, try searching a little harder and you'll probably find something that nobody else has ever done. That said, even if your book is 75% original and 25% recycled, I think that it would still be a very good read (depending on the story). 2.) As for cliche plot lines and themes, I think they're well...cliche. The definition of "Cliche" is: anything that has become trite or commonplace through overuse. With that meaning in place I'd say "No", I do not like them. But, as I said before, if your story is only a quarter (or so) cliche, then it really has no time to become dull (due to the constant innovations of a good author).

Answer 6

I think The Family keeps those pretty close. They wouldn't want Too many people to see what is in there. It might not make them look too good.
