Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit background

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

Jessica's exceptional fortitude and compassion empower her to challenge her indoctrinated upbringing. Growing from 7 to 17 years old, she is systematically conditioned to believe in being "saved" and dedicating her life to serving Christ, as dictated by a cult-like influence.

Jessica's exceptional resilience and compassionate heart help her defy her strict, cult-like upbringing. From age 7 to 17, Jessica is indoctrinated to be a "saved" follower, dedicating her life to Jesus and adhering to Pastor Finch's discriminatory teachings based on Revelations. Despite this regime, she gracefully fits in by spreading the word of Jesus contentedly. However, as her friendship with Melanie deepens into something more than mere companionship, Jessica realizes the mistake of Pastor Finch's teachings. The girls endure severe treatment to persuade them to repent.
