Jesus Land

  • Julia Scheeres

4.25

4 ratings

"Sibling bond is at the core of Jesus Land, Scheeres’s gritty, heart-wrenching memoir...A lesser writer would have buckled under the weight of this story...A page turner...Heart-stopping and enraging...There is much praise, these days, for the detached, quietly elegant narrative. But there is little mention of the power a well-tended rage can bring to a good story...Focused, justified and without a trace of self-pity. Shot through with poignancy." —New York Times Book Review
