Harrison Hill and Audrey Clare Farley: THE ORACLE'S DAUGHTER

This gripping chronicle of the rise and fall of a woman-led cult traces the fascinating beginnings and violent end of ACMTC, but also extends to the broader history of extremism in America.

With a dramatic, deeply researched narrative tracing the strange twists and turns of the country's religious development, The Oracle's Daughter illuminates the porous boundary between the fringe and the mainstream--and shows how much more vulnerable we are to extremism than we might like to think.

We hope you can join us for this fascinating, urgent conversation!
