DESCRIPTION:Author Readings\n\n\nJULIA SCHEERES, Author of JESUS LAND\nWednesday, 
 December 6 at 7pm\n\n\nJulia Scheeres will read from and discuss her book 
 about growing up in a Christian fundamentalist family in the American 
 midwest. Jesus Land tells the story of how she was incarcerated along with 
 her brother,in a Christian reform school in the Dominican Republic. For 
 these two teenagers, one white, one black, the 1980s were a trial by 
 fire.\n\n"A page turner...heart-stopping and enraging...focused, justified, 
 and without a trace of self-pity. Shot through with poignancy" – New York 
 Times Book Review\n\n"A cleared-eyed memoir...with judicious restraint. To 
 spend your childhood in a doctrinaire environment, whether political or 
 religous, is to become too familiar, too fast, with the worst of human 
 frailties– hypocrisy, bigotry, moral cowardice" –Vogue\n\n"The grace 
 and emotional brawn that carried Julia Scheeres through the pummeling 
 brutality of her youth has enabled her to tell th tale with a measured 
 intensity that pulls you to her side and keeps you there. I could not stop 
 reading this book." – Mary Roach, author of Stiff\n
