The Oracle's Daughter

A Woman's Escape From Her Mother's Cult
A work of deeply reported narrative non-fiction about one woman's escape from a paramilitary religious cult founded by her mother, interweaving the history of fringe religion and radical belief in America and culminating in a series of terrible crimes committed by cult members who believed they were following God's orders.

'Terrifying, gripping, all true. I couldn't put it down' Stephen King

'Excellent. told with rare sensitivity. Hill is an extremely skilled writer, and his conscientious, measured reporting is a gift. The propulsive feel of a novel.' New York Times

'Troubling, uplifting, heartbreaking. a masterwork.'
Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Life, Animated

On a cool autumn night in 1999, twenty-six-year-old Sarah Green crept out of her house 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 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. It follows Deborah, the group's founder and self-proclaimed oracle; Maura, one of its first members; and Sarah, Deborah's daughter, among the cult's primary victims.

With a propulsive, deeply researched narrative, The Oracle's Daughter illuminates the strange world of religious cults-and how more vulnerable we are to extremism than we might like to think.
