Beautiful Revolutionary

By Laura Elizabeth Woollett

Book Overview

The thrilling new novel, inspired by the events at Jonestown in the 1970s.

It's the summer of 1968, and Evelyn Lynden is a woman at war with herself. Minister's daughter. Atheist. Independent woman. Frustrated wife. Bitch with a bleeding heart.

Following her conscientious-objector husband Lenny to the rural Eden of Evergreen Valley, California, Evelyn wants to be happy with their new life. Yet she finds herself disillusioned with Lenny's passive ways--and anxious for a savior. Enter the Reverend Jim Jones, the dynamic leader of a revolutionary church....

Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Beautiful Revolutionary explores the allure of the real-life charismatic leader who would destroy so many. It follows Evelyn as she is pulled into Jones's orbit--an orbit it would prove impossible for her to leave.

A real page turner

This perspective of the Jim’s Jones cult is riveting and I couldn’t put the book down. There are some sensitive subjects touched on but this book gave me a different perspective on the historic story
