APOCALYPSE CHILD – A Life in End Times (Turner Publishing, January 2018) “All I knew about the afterlife, I learned from Father David. He was our leader who would lead us, like Moses, into the End Times.” Flor Edwards was raised in a controversial sect called The Children of God, formed in Huntington Beach, California, in the late 1960s out of the “free love” hippie era. The group shut itself out from mainstream society, believing that they were among God's chosen people and would be saved when the apocalypse came. Taught that she would be “one of God’s Martyrs” when she was 12 years old -- the apocalypse was awaited in 1993 – Flor lived a childhood of both wonder and fear as her family pursued its dream of a nomadic, communal existence in rural Thailand, where many of “Father David’s” followers had fled. When the cult dissolved after its leader’s abrupt death, Flor and her family were left adrift, without resources.
