Description
Evelyn Lynden's life is a complex web of contradictions. A minister's daughter turned atheist, she struggles to reconcile her faith with her desire for independence. When her husband Lenny joins a new revolutionary church in rural California, Evelyn finds herself drawn to the charismatic leader Reverend Jim Jones.
As Evelyn becomes increasingly disillusioned with Lenny's passive ways and anxious for a saviour, she is pulled into Jones's orbit. But as she delves deeper into his world, Evelyn begins to realise that her new faith may be more than she can handle.
This meticulously researched novel explores the alluring yet destructive power of charismatic leadership, and the devastating consequences that can follow.
