As an adult, Lauren Hough has had many identities: an airman in the U.S. Air Force, a cable guy, a bouncer at a gay club. As a child, however, she had none. Growing up as a member of the infamous cult The Children of God, Hough had her own self robbed from her. The cult took her all over the globe - to Germany, Japan, Texas, Chile - but it wasn't until she finally left for good that Lauren understood she could have a life beyond 'The Family'. Along the way, she's loaded up her car and started over, trading one life for the next.

Jeder kann alles schaffen, wenn er sich nur anstrengt? Schön wär's. Ramona Wuttig zeigt in diesem Debattenhörbuch eindrücklich: Sozialer Aufstieg gelingt in Deutschland oft trotz – und nicht wegen – der bestehenden Strukturen. Ihre eigene Geschichte beginnt im ländlichen Thüringen in extremer Armut: ohne fließendes Warmwasser, geprägt von Arbeitslosigkeit der Nachwendezeit und gesellschaftlicher Ausgrenzung.
