Their American Dream was simply to survive. They managed considerably more than that.
In 1885, murderous circumstances force two lesbian widows and a child-philosopher to flee their French village for a new life in Indiana, USA. There, they are welcomed by the Solemnites, a benvolent, quasi-cult that forbids pleasure.
Life is upended when the Solemnites are tapped to host the All-Tent Revival which bills itself as a multi-denominational marketplace for God. A better description would be a time-bomb composed of two-hundred rival factions of late-19th-century American crack-pot religious sects.
Three guesses as to who sets off that bomb.
As satiric as it is thought-provoking, this acerbic tale of enlightenment delights. - Publishers Weekly
A delightful romp through mystics and cults, a fractured American Dream, an immigrant experience of the odd kind, and the rollicking world of the late 1800s...Libraries will find Sister Liberty an outstanding read that is hard to easily categorize but easy on the eye, destined to attract a wide audience looking for a novel that is thought-provokingly original. - Midwest Book Review
Whimsical and entertaining, even as it crescendos to a shocking conclusion - BookLife
Sister Liberty is a fully-fledged revolution. - Independent Book Review
Funny and subversive - Kirkus
