Chasing Prophecy
by James Moser is young adult fiction.
Mo is the main character. He’s
likeable and he likes Prophecy. Prophecy
is a girl who goes to school with Mo.
Her real name was Cassandra, but her mother joined a cult and brought
her daughter, “Kazzy,” a/k/a Prophecy, with her. Everyone in the cult changed their first
name, and took the last name Bethlehem.
They all lived on Bethlehem ranch.
Actually, I liked the cult’s lifestyle. It was like one big family. But nothing’s perfect. The government was suspicious of Bethlehem
ranch. They had their eyes on the
ranch’s administration, since Bethlehem ranch claimed religious dispensation
from paying taxes; Big Brother Uncle Sam, wanted to see their books. Bethlehem Ranch refused. The government was bringing them to
court. Lawyers and court fees cost
money. In order to pay the lawyers et
al, Bethlehem’s leaders were making and selling drugs.
Mo and his best friend get involved. They inadvertently get their picture taken
holding the dope. Readers will know that
this bodes trouble. Trouble with capital
“T,” falls on top of Prophecy and her Mom. They hide out with Mo and his MomZ (author’s
capitulation to current cultural sexual/matrimonial fad).
The FBI with Prophecy’s and everybody’s help, reign in the
bad guys. How, is the story. I don’t
want to give any spoilers. The story is
original. It’s suspenseful. The pace is fast. The characterization is believable. Young adults will go for it. I think they’ll go for it, big time. My only complaint is MomZ. Mo’s mother is remarried to another
woman. That’s why Mo calls the two of
them MomZ (He has two mothers.) This addition adds absolutely nothing to the
story. It really has nothing to do with
anything. I think the author just stuck
it in because it’s the latest fad to have GLBT people. If James Moser wanted a nontraditional
family, he could have had grandparents, uncle, etc. I guess that’s not as hep as MomZ. But this is my pet peeve. Don’t let my view detract from the story; it’s
good; it’s super; it’s an excellent read.
I did receive an e-copy of , from Chasing Prophecy by James Moser, from Tribute
books, but I was not compensated to write a favorable review. This is my honest evaluation.
