Beskrivelse
PART ADVENTURE STORY, part cautionary tale, So Late, So Soon explores the boundaries between selflessness and having no sense of self; between needing and wanting; between the sacred and the profane. Sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious, Fallon's account of her young life in a California Christian commune engagingly illustrates the complexities of desire and the deeply-rooted longing we all feel to be taken in, accepted, and loved. Shame, lust, compassion, and enlightenment -- all find their place in Fallon's honest retelling of her quest for community. --KIM BARNES, author of Finding Caruso
HOW DID A SMART AND SASSY YOUNG WOMAN end up living on the land in pure seventies style with a group of people who work as Donut Brothers going door-to-door selling for Our Father's Bakery? Fallon takes us into the life of a born-again commune with compassion and humor -- and she's an ungodly good guide. --LOUISE RAFKIN, author of Other People's Dirt: A Housecleaner's Curious Adventures
SO LATE, SO SOON is the story of one woman's misadventures in religion, but in the hands of a writer as skilled and generous as Fallon, it becomes the story of every person's search for faith -- in themselves, in others, and in the crazy ways of the world. A clear-eyed, compassionate, and rewarding book. --BERNARD COOPER, author of Maps to Anywhere, winner of the 1991 PEN/Hemingway Award
I FOUND D'ARCY FALLON'S STORY FASCINATING, as will anyone who has ever wondered about the role women play in fundamental religious sects. What would draw an otherwise independent woman to a life of menial labor and subservience? Fallon's answer is this story, both an inside look at 70s commune life and a funny, irreverent, poignant coming of age. --JUDY BLUNT, author of Breaking Clean
