From the New York Times-bestselling author David Duchovny, an epic
adventure that asks how we make sense of right and wrong in a world
of extremes For the past twenty years, Bronson Powers, former
Hollywood stuntman and converted Mormon, has been homesteading deep
in the uninhabited desert outside Joshua Tree with his three wives
and ten children. Bronson and his wives, Yalulah, Mary, and Jackie,
have been raising their family away from the corruption and evil of
the modern world. Their insular existence--controversial,
difficult, but Edenic--is upended when the ambitious young
developer Maya Abbadessa stumbles upon their land. Hoping to make a
profit, she crafts a wager with the family that sets in motion a
deadly chain of events. Maya, threatening to report the family to
social services, convinces them to enter three of their children
into a nearby public school. Bronson and his wives agree that if
Maya can prove that the kids do better in town than in their desert
oasis, they will sell her a chunk of their priceless plot of land.
Suddenly confronted with all the complications of the twenty-first
century that they tried to keep out of their lives, the Powerses
must reckon with their lifestyle as they try to save it. Truly Like
Lightning, David Duchovny's fourth novel, is a heartbreaking
meditation on family, religion, sex, greed, human nature, and the
vanishing environment of an ancient desert.
