In the Days of Rain

For generations, Rebecca Stotts family belonged to the Exclusive Brethren, a Christian sect who believed the world was ruled by Satan. After 15 years preaching as a minister, her father rebelled, remarried, and found new meaning in the literature, poetry and film the cult had banned. On his deathbed, he asked her to complete his memoir, and their taped conversations revealed secrets more terrible than she had ever imagined. Winner of the 2017 Costa Biography Award.
