  • Résumé

  • This novel is set in the 1960s with a backdrop of The Beatles and other music of the time.

    It tells the story of Daisy Shoemaker who is 15 in 1964. She was born into a fundamentalist Mormon community on the US - Canada border.

    In a ceremony called Placement she is given as a teenage wife to a much older man. She finds this intolerable and runs away.

    The church official who makes the decisions is known as Bishop and he assures his followers that he has a direct line to God. Amazingly they believe him.

    It's a gripping and enraging read. It's fiction but events like the book describes are still happening today. The fundamentalist cult is vey much alive and well.

    There is a Netflix documentary about the group .. Keep Sweet : Pray and Obey.
