From the Publisher"Stauth offers a dramatic account, broad enough to include historical perspective on the Great Awakening and the prophets and religious figures who shaped the faith-healing fundamentalists, and intimate enough to cover the families who struggled to reconcile love for their children with unyielding faith in their beliefs that dictated they take no action, other than prayer, to save their children's lives. A powerful, shocking story." —Booklist (starred review)
"A powerful tale of religious beliefs gone awry." —Kirkus Reviews
