About this title

Review:

'The grace and emotional brawn that carried Julia Scheeres through the pummeling brutality of her youth has enabled her to tell the tale with a measured intensity that pulls you to her side and keeps you there. I could not stop reading this book.' Mary Roach, author of Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers; 'I am still thinking of Jesus Land long after finishing it. I was drawn in by how genuine it was, and I am in absolute awe of the violence, racism, and neglect in their outwardly Christian family. As I was reading I wished that I could have stepped in to save them all.' Wendy Manning, Third Place Books; 'I spent the whole day yesterday reading Jesus Land, which I liked so much because I liked Julia so much. She's a tough and wise narrator with a marvelous sense of humor. I had to remind myself that this was non-fiction, that real people experienced this.' Mark Laframboise, Politics and Prose Bookstore; 'This unsparing memoir tells a sad and poignant tale of abuse, allenation, and ultimately personal redemption that was reminiscent of Mary Karry's The Liar's Club. Julia's always hopeful voice lent humanity to the story and made me imagine her as a flower that grows between the unforgiving cracks in a sidewalk.' Danielle Marshall, Powell's Books"
