They were very idealistic. Their family was devastated. <br /><br />Dee Ann PalmerDeadly Liaisonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247314031368467657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-73363263966299072832011-04-04T19:34:47.987-04:002011-04-04T19:34:47.987-04:00Can't wait.Can't wait.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-34437054305467329202011-04-04T19:32:47.591-04:002011-04-04T19:32:47.591-04:00It sounds great, Darrell!It sounds great, Darrell!Alice Loweeceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269785237562203610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-29496695770918658952011-04-04T19:24:46.798-04:002011-04-04T19:24:46.798-04:00Sounds fascinating, Darrell.

As a reporter, I covered some of the fallout from Heaven's Gate; my husband was in Waco for the duration of the awful standoff there with David Koresh and followers. Those types of leaders -- and followers -- give a novelist a lot to work with.
