Minor Prophets

Deep in

the remote wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Nora is growing up within a militant

apocalyptic religious cult. When her father, the group's charismatic leader,

discovers his young daughter's gift for speaking in tongues and prophesying, he

employs her to recruit people in their

community. But as she grows older, Nora begins to question her

faith, her father and her predesignated role... and must choose between committing herself

fully, or being exiled into the foreign and frightening world

beyond.

Five

years later, Nora is working as a hospice nurse in Chicago, struggling to

navigate the baffling customs of the "normal" life she is now

leading. When a letter arrives, warning her to "prepare herself," the lockbox of Nora's childhood is thrown open, sending her

hurtling back into the shattering truth of what really happened on the day of

her escape.
