I couldn't put this book down--in fact, I kept flipping ahead trying to guess how it all ended.
A fascinating man comes to a small town, starts a church, and a group of women throw almost eveyrthing away to follow him.
Fascinating story, though the writing was sometimes a bit lacking. It's told through the eyes of one of the younger members of the group--who does eventually leave, but part of me wanted to know more about Joshua's motivations. Did he really believe he was a prophet? Or was he always scamming them?
Worth reading, and it would be a great choice for a book club.
