"Annie Dawid's historical fiction of the tragedy that took place in Jonestown, Guyana 45 years ago, is a sensitive account of 4 people whose lives were impacted by Jim Jones and his cult, the People's Temple. The character development is excellent and the message, sadly, continues to be applicable today" – Five-star Amazon review
Annie Dawid, a published author of five books encompassing fiction, non-fiction and poetry, teaches creative writing online at the University of Denver, Colorado. Her interest in the Jonestown massacre began in March 2004, during her time as a teacher in residence at the University of North Dakota Writers Conference, where she met a friend of a Jonestown survivor. For more information on Annie Dawid and her other books, visit her website.
This encounter inspired years of research, culminating in Annie’s latest novel, Paradise Undone. Along the way, she had the privilege of meeting the survivors who now manage the Jonestown Institute Archives. Together with their insights and the contributions of many others, Dawid hopes to shed light on the lives of the 900+ Peoples Temple members who tragically lost their lives in the jungle.
