Book Cover & Preview Text
...It was a sunny fall afternoon in Eatonton, GA, and I was just about done with cleaning the house when I heard the front door fly open and little feet scrambling around downstairs. A few people were shuffling around the house and as I listened closer I heard a little voice screaming in Arabic over and over again; “qadibu baba kanna fiy fam-mie! qadibu baba kanna fiy fam-mie!” This little voice and the little feet carrying this little person were coming upstairs to where I was. No-one else in the house understood what was coming out of this child’s mouth except for me; and the other little person running up the stairs (at least that was what I was hoping).

About the Book
A shockingly true account of a woman living part of her teenage years and young adulthood as a Muslim wife and eventually became part of a 'Harem' inside of one of the most influential underground cults in the United States. Assuming the pen name of Ruby Garnett at the request of her family, the author recounts the circumstances that led her to eventually be enticed by the religious extremist dogma of one of the most charismatic, influential underground cult leaders Black America has seen since since the likes of Father Divine... Garnett has a candidly-intimate conversation with the reader about her state of mind from beginning to end. She wrote "Soul Sacrifice" for the children that came forward to let someone know about the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of Nuwabian cult leader Malachi York. Despite the threats, harrassment and lack of support (from some of their own brainwashed parents), these brave survivors of abuse are the reason this story needs to be heard...
About the Author
Ruby Garnett dropped out of A. Phillip Randolph HS in 1986 and joined a cult. After returning home in 1992, the experience led her to write her first book entitled, "Soul Sacrifice". She attended Bowie State University, majoring in Early Childhood/Special Education; minoring in Music. Born at Mt. Sinai hospital in NY to Donald (of Panamanian descent) and Jersey City naitive-Carolyn, Garnett and her brother David grew up in Jamaica, NY. The author's love of reading and writing were sparked by her mother who kept a stocked bookcase, and read to her children every night. In school, Garnett (the author's pen name) received honors in English, Reading and Creative Writing. The author enjoys the fact she and her brother and family live 10mins from eachother, and remains an avid writer/reader. She is married to her "heart" Stephen and resides in Prince George's County, MD, working as a Dental Receptionist. The next project is a fictional peice entitled "Never Again" and pt. two of "Soul Sacrifice" entitled "Picking Up a Thousand Pieces" are in progress...
