"Jesus Land" is an extraordinary memoir not just for the jaw-dropping tale it depicts, but for the wit, honesty, and literary courage within its pages. This book will make readers think of "The Liars' Club and Bastard Out of Carolina", but there's nothing derivative in it. For all its hardship and terror, it is above all a love story. Julia Scheeres is the real thing, and this a book that should last for a long, long time" By Tom Barbash, author of the The Last Good Chance and On Top of the World.
