Focusing on the lives of three fictional Black women, this novel explores their divergent journeys within the Peoples Temple movement leading to the tragic events in Jonestown. Hy seeks spirituality, Taryn investigates the church's finances, and Ida exposes its corruption through journalism. The narrative examines themes of complicity, resistance, and the quest for social justice, while situating the Peoples Temple within the broader context of civil rights, feminism, and Black struggle. It offers a poignant reflection on the intersection of faith and American democracy.
