In early 1990, in response to apocalyptic prophecies given
by her mother, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, Erin Prophet entered
a network of underground bunkers in Montana along with
members of her mother's Church Universal and Triumphant, a
controversial New Age sect. Emerging to find the world still
intact, Erin was forced into a radical reassessment of her
life and her beliefs. She had spent her adolescence watching
her mother vilified as a dangerous cult leader even while
attempting to meet her expectations by becoming a "prophet"
herself. Prophet's Daughter describes Erin's search for her
mother's origins and motivations. With the craft of a
storyteller, she describes the combination of health crises
and external pressure that drove her mother's ever-more dire
prophecies. She reveals how the allure of infallibility led
her mother to a conspicuous downfall, and how her mother's
rapidly progressing Alzheimer's disease truncated any hope
of resolution. A remarkable memoir with implications for the
dialog about power, group behavior and the future of religion.
