Publisher's Synopsis
For three long years, the Family of God awaited the end of the world in a California desert. In 2008, the cult destroyed itself in mass suicide and final massacre.
Plagued by guilt and PTSD, the survivors couldn't talk about their experience until a psychiatrist treated them with poetry therapy.
Ranging in form from haiku to sonnets, this collection is their stories in verse, expressing hope, love, faith, regret, and pain. In these apocalyptic dreams, the survivors find their voice and finally tell why they joined the cult, what they hoped to achieve, how they failed, and the night of the massacre.
