She was escaping not just the Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, a paramilitary religious cult operating out of the New Mexico desert, but also the punishments and cruelty of the cult's leader--her mother, Deborah. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Oracle's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e, Harrison Hill traces the fascinating beginnings and violent end of ACMTC, from its early days as an outgrowth of the 1960s counterculture to its descent into conspiracy-fueled abuse. This is the story of three women--Deborah, the group's founder and self-proclaimed oracle; Maura, one of its first members; and Sarah, Deborah's daughter--bound together by a punitive, baroque set of radical beliefs and practices, including exorcism, kidnapping, and the horrific mistreatment of those who fell out of the leaders' favor. With a dramatic, deeply researched narrative tracing the strange twists and turns of the country's religious development, \u003ci\u003e The Oracle's Daughter \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates the porous boundary between the fringe and the mainstream--and shows how much more vulnerable we are to extremism than we might like to think.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"The Oracle's Daughter | Harrison Hill | Hardcover | 9781668018873 | New | True Crime 1749535","offer_id":48880379396248,"sku":"1749535","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Yq2E5nmGL.jpg?v=1776358867","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-oracles-daughter","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
