About this ebook
The acclaimed author of The Turtle House returns with a luminous novel, set in a small West Texas town during the Dust Bowl—a female retelling of the Bible’s Moses story which explores belief, community, and the transformative power of one woman’s personal awakening.
The faithful people of Good Tidings believe they will be rewarded in heaven for their upright behavior in life. Yet the massive dust storms destroying their land and livelihood have caused some to question God’s plan. All are grateful for the church’s broom factory that helps to support the town, even if it means the young women of the community must work there for two years before they can return and marry their chosen partners. Despite the drought and dust, the townspeople tend to their barren fields and trust that their founder, a man known as The Shepherd, will keep them on the path of righteousness and salvation.
When Moselle, seen as an outsider by many of the townspeople, is given a position of prominence at the broom factory, a delicate balance begins to shift. Working alongside The Shepherd’s brother who manages the shop, the young woman soon suspects something is deeply rotten. And when God begins to speak to her, tasking her with leading the other young women out of harm’s way, Moselle is caught between the storms that rage across the plains and revelations that threaten to unravel the community.
Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the devastation of the Dust Bowl, The Prophetess of Good Tidings is the moving tale of one extraordinary young woman’s power to find her true path and follow it no matter the cost.
