Jezebels of the Earth: An Erotic Rebellion, (Paperback)

<p>After losing her job as a professor, a mother and her daughter leave California for a new home in a small community near a Montana forest. They hope they will find the peace they need to put their lives back together. However, they quickly find themselves leading a rebellion against a politically powerful rancher, nicknamed Kingdom Come, who is the head of a secretive militia called The Priesthood. The Priesthood is plotting to take over America and make it into an Old Testament theocracy.</p><p>Because the Priesthood rules the small community with fear, nothing is as it appears to be. Everyone has secrets. Rumor has it that the leader of the Priesthood murdered his wife for adultery. The local minister's wife is using the church basement to "break at least 30 of the Ten Commandments." And her daughter is organizing a coven of witches to take her father and the Priesthood down.</p><p>The book ends with this question raised about Kindom Come, the leader of the militia, but might be asked of all of us after we elected Donald Trump president: <i>So many of us thought him noble and moral, a model of righteousness and piety. We elected him to office, we interpreted our lives by his, what we thought best in ourselves we saw in him. His moods became the weather in our community, the cloud upon our brow, the sun in our smiles. So, how could we have been so deceived by this man? His cruelties, his deceits, his hatred, all are so apparent now. How could we have not seen through to what he was?</i></p><p><i>The more thoughtful among us wonder if his faults and failings weren't our own for having raised him up so high among us. They ponder what hatred, what anger, what fear down deep in the soul of our community could have guided us to elect him our leader. A lie is but a seed these people say. For it to sprout, grow, and bear fruit, the soil in which it is planted must be prepared and fertile. If Kingdom Come's lies bloomed and flourished in our community, the fault was as much ours as it was his. How can we ever be forgiven for that? For seeing what we saw and still having seen none of it.</i></p><p>Although Jezebels of the Earth is set in a small community in Montana, it anticipates what the entire country could turn into if Donald Trump and his supporters get their way. By turns, a rebellion against patriarchy, Christian Nationalism, and the corporations destroying the earth, it would reframe the way we live upon the earth, trying to find a way to heal the harm we have done to it.</p>
