OUTSIDE OF THE WORLD By JUSTINE ALTER

Part autobiography, part artbook, and part diary, Outside of the World is the tale of a girl whose story is both niche and universal.

While Justine disappeared and converted to Orthodoxy after a life of being a globally renowned psychic, an extreme music artist, a “dangerous cult leader”, and an occult pop culture icon, her story touches others in a way that transcends circumstance.

This book carries motifs and frustrations that many of us struggle with, such as rehabilitation, violence, culture clashes, communication gaps, growing pains, betrayal, searching for discernment, overcoming trauma, attempting to properly understand love, escaping what others perceive as your inevitable “fate”, deception, unreliable emotion, and dreading the eventual choice between marriage and monastic tonsure.
