Description: When They Were Mine is the autobiography of Sheila Martin, a member of the Branch Davidian Church at the time of its encounter with the FBI in April, 1993. The assault resulted in a fire that killed 76 Branch Davidians, including 23 children. Sheila's husband and four oldest children died in the fire. Martin told the story of her life, both before and after the attack, to Catherine Wessinger, who then wrote this first-person narrative from the recordings of their sessions together. The result is an account of one life, typical in its ups and downs, made atypical by a collision of faith with history. --From publisher's description.
