| Summary |
In early 1990, following a set of apocalyptic prophecies made by her mother, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Erin Prophet took shelter inside a Montana bunker. Along with her family, friends, and the fellow members of her mother's church, she awaited the end of civilization. Emerging to find the world still intact, she was forced to reevaluate everything she knew, or thought she knew, about love, life, and her obligations to church and family. Prophet's Daughter is a riveting, fiercely honest account of life inside one of America's most notorious new religious movements, the Church Universal and Triumphant. By the daughter and onetime heir apparent of "Guru Ma," Elizabeth Clare Prophet, it describes firsthand the dangers of leading one's own religion. Through this gripping narrative, Erin Prophet reveals how the allure of infallibility led her mother to a conspicuous downfall, and how Erin's efforts to understand her were truncated by her mother's rapidly progressing Alzheimer's disease. |
