A Thousand Lives

starshinesquirrel shared a tip "If I were to choose a book to introduce the tragic Jonestown story to someone who knew little or nothing about it, this would be the one. Several members of the Peoples Temple of various ages and backgrounds are at the center of the narrative. You grow to care about them and empathize with their pain and desperation, which makes it difficult when you find out not all of them escaped Jonestown. As the book reaches its climax, you will likely find yourself shedding some tears. I know I did."
