I'll be singing and dancing to this one all day now. 🤣🎶🤣

What a book. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. Wait has a gift for crafting complex and engrossing stories that really get under your skin and make you think and feel deeply.

Single mother Stephanie gets drawn into the fold of a self-proclaimed "Prophet" and brings her daughter, Judith, to live with his isolated cult. Cont'd in comments...

Deepwater Horizon oil spill, not an edifying presentation.

BP resumed drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after a moratorium of less than five months. They‘ve paid $65B in fines, no one went to jail.

I‘m getting real creeps from the cult. Seriously, what is up with them. I‘ve got a weird feeling about them. I don‘t trust them.

Thank you, sweet friend. I smiled when I saw this was from you. I have something for you, but I am stuck home with pneumonia so will mail when better (whenever that is). I so look forward to reading this and I love our book friendship. 😘

This book made me want to cancel my lunch plans yesterday and stay home all day and read. I am so glad the higher praise Wait get on Litsy convinced me to give her another try after not loving another of her books because this story about a young mother and her daughter‘s journey through their involvement with a cult was fantastic.

Indeed!! 🤓

Such a creepy/atmospheric read, just how Joe managed to create such a palpable, mesmerising read in a novella is a true credit to his writing skills. I devoured this in one sitting as I couldnt put it down, I just had to see where it would end and it did not disappoint as some novellas can when they seem to end abruptly once they have reached a certain word count. Such a well woven story for a compact read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Slowly, over time, God had moved further and further away, until He was eventually nothing more than an idea - and someone else‘s idea, at that.”

No, it‘s not as good as Our Fathers, but this story about a young woman and her 12 year old daughter, falling under the spell of The Prophet, pulled me in from the first page and I read it in a day!
