What goes into reporting and writing a nonfiction book about a cult? Come take a peek at my process writing THE ORACLE’S DAUGHTER, this month’s Belletrist Book Club selection! 📚🙌✍️

THE ORACLE’S DAUGHTER, in today’s New York Times! 🤗🤗🤗 “Excellent... told with rare sensitivity... This is exactly the kind of story that the true-crime industrial complex lives to salivate over. But Hill is an extremely skilled writer, and his conscientious, measured reporting is a gift. He’s also a reliable guide who’s managed to create stunningly vivid scenes from the memories with which his subjects have trusted him. The immediacy with which Hill portrays their conflicted longings gives the book the propulsive feel of a novel.” — THE NEW YORK TIMES

Our October Book Pick is here 📚The Oracle’s Daughter by Harrison Hill.
The shocking true story of the rise and fall of a woman-led cult—a debut work of narrative nonfiction about extremism, the search for belonging, and America’s turbulent religious history.
On a cool fall night in 1999, twenty-six-year-old Sarah Green crept out of her house, retrieved a backpack from its hiding place, and ran for her life. She was escaping not just the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, a paramilitary religious cult operating out of the New Mexico desert, but also the punishments and cruelty of the cult’s leader—her mother, Deborah.
In The Oracle’s Daughter, Harrison Hill traces the fascinating beginnings and violent end of ACMTC, from its early days as an outgrowth of the hippie movement, through the conspiracy-theorist 1990s and into the present day. This is the story of three women—Deborah, the group’s founder and self-proclaimed oracle; Maura, one of its first members; and Sarah, Deborah’s daughter—bound together by a punitive, baroque set of radical beliefs and practices, including exorcism, kidnapping, prohibitions against the “abominations” of popular music and psychoanalysis, and the horrific mistreatment of those who fell out of the leaders’ favor.
Though ACMTC was radical in its beliefs, deprivations, and abuses, its history is a window into the particular character of American fanaticism, and an examination of the porous boundary between the fringe and the mainstream. With a propulsive, deeply researched narrative, The Oracle’s Daughter illuminates the strange twists and turns of the country’s religious development—and how much more vulnerable we are to extremism than we might like to think.
Content warning: The Oracle’s Daughter addresses physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, including abuse of children. Please keep these subjects in mind when deciding to read this book and participate in our book club discussion.

It was so cool to be a part of this — a panel discussion about cults and community and the human condition at @bkbookfest, with @the.glory.whole @sarahedmondson @priyahutner & @robtmars ✨✨ Thanks so much to everyone who made it happen!

I loved this book so, so much. Fitting that I finished on a plane: it’s the story of eleven Irish brothers (eleven!!) who go to New York and Montana in the sixties to build lives away from the poverty and pain of home. A story of coming and going, of returning, of failing to return. Truly one of the few books that can be recommend, unreservedly, to just about anyone. It made me feel so full, so very present with the men at the center of the story. The final lines made me gasp. So rich, so humane, so abundant in feeling — a story told with perfect grace and control. Thank you, @marybethkeane, for this marvel. Comes out in November.

Galway Girl! Spotted in Galway, Ireland - so fun - thx @brandonkw for sending. The magic of books: you have no idea where they’re going to end up. I like to imagine I’m traveling with them. ☘️☘️☘️
