A memoir set in Humboldt County. A friend of mine grew up in this religious community (Gospel Outreach, a kind of hippie/Jesus-people commune), and I've been curious about it. The book is a great personal portrait of a young woman who joined the group quite accidentally, while looking for something to do with her life, and how she ended up leaving. It doesn't paint a very clear picture of the structure or history of the group, and some of the details are sketchy, but Fallon's style is readable and elegant. It was pretty fun to read a book about life in Eureka in the 1970s, and wondering if any of the characters were my friend's parents...
Love this book! This was my first chick lit, beach read. It is funny and smart!
