An emotional, disturbing, & tense read, Godshot is 14yo Lacey May’s story as she lives through a drought in Peaches, CA. When her mother gets banned from their special church & leaves her behind, Lacey’s life begins to unravel and the rose colored glasses come off. 

From cult life to assault to mother/daughter relations to sex work, I can only call this book a depressing, yet fascinating read.
