A compelling, compulsive follow up to The School on Heart's Content
Road by a "modern-day Dickensian voice" (San Diego Union Tribune); a
politically passionate portrait of a complicated, marginalized leader
who refuses to silence his beliefs, and who may or may not be all that
he seems.
It's the height of summer, 1999, when local newspaper, the Record Sun,
receives numerous tipoffs from anonymous callers warning of violence,
weapons stockpiling, and rampant child abuse at the nearby homeschool
on Heart's Content Road. Hungry for a big break into serious journalism,
of the homeschool, Gordon St. Onge referred to by many as "The Prophet".
Soon, Ivy ingratiates herself into the sprawling Settlement, a self-sufficient
counterculture community that many locals fear to be a wild cult. Despite
her initial skepticism, not to mention the Settlement's ever-growing
group of pregnant teenaged girls, Ivy finds herself irresistibly drawn
to Gordon.
Meanwhile, across town, Brianna, a gifted and disturbed teen with wild
orange hair, paints her political and personal visions. At the behest
of her brothers, Brianna joins the community. As her complicated, awkward
relationship with Gordon unfolds, Brianna reveals herself to be a shy,
yet passionate, individual, with a strange and troubling sexual past.
Record Sun finally runs its piece on Gordon, the exposure has a startling
and unexpected effect on Settlement life and the world beyond it.
