About the book (from the Author's website):
Barb Matheson doesn’t fit in: not on the Standing Rock Reservation where her mother was born, not at the mission in rural Ethiopia where she grew up, and certainly not at the Pennsylvania church where her husband preaches. Expansive and lyrical, Unfollowers is a tale of religious angst, unrequited love, and the upheaval of racial and economic privilege. Equally adrift on both sides of the Atlantic, Barb must negotiate the distance between her identities in America and Ethiopia, between the spirituality of her ancestors and the straight tones of Evangelicalism, and between rules and grace.
