This is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God's elect. Zealous and passionate, she seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts.
At sixteen, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves.

5 stars
Heartbreaking. Selber ein Ex-Fundie, finde ich meine Erfahrungen in sovielen der Gedanken wieder, die die Ich-Erzählerin hier beschreibt. Es ist v.a. die Auseinandersetzung mit Verlust und Schmerz, die mich am meisten bewegt.
