Lee Dillon Ford, put simply, is a loser. He's a 32 year-old, barely-functional alcoholic day laborer in Portland, Oregon, whose debaucherous lifestyle of cheap liquor, cheaper women, and as little responsibility as he can manage is abruptly interrupted when his estranged half-brother Barrett is pulled dead from the gray-brown waters of the Willamette River. The police are calling it suicide. But a voice mail left on Lee's phone by the boy only minutes before his death would seem to suggest otherwise. Driven by a compulsion to discover the truth when everyone else is willing to ignore it, Lee embarks on a hunt to find out about the brother he hardly knew, tracing his movements to a farming collective outside the city composed of hippies, activists, slackers, runaways, addicts and criminals, all led by the enigmatic Edlund Boggs, an ex-soldier now calling himself a Prophet of Mother, the very spirit of the Earth. Mother has shown Edlund scenes of a coming apocalypse, called Renewal, a global event that will decimate civilization and all its advances, leaving a more primitive world to which most survivors - as relics of an automated, dependent society - will be unable to adapt. But not Edlund and his people, The Select. They eschew modern conveniences, grow their own food, generate their own power, and live otherwise entirely off the grid behind the fortified walls of their multi-acre compound, learning and honing the skills they will need not only to survive but thrive in the World To Be. Lee infiltrates this community looking to learn anything he can about Barrett's death, including if someone here was responsible. The more time he spends on the farm, however, the more its people and philosophies begin to cloud his motivations and awaken in him a person he hadn't known was there. A better person. Leading this effort is Clair, the girl who brought Barrett to this place, and who started as Lee's prime suspect, but quickly becomes something more meaningful, further blurring the line between Lee's responsibility to his dead half-brother, and his responsibility to himself. The deeper he gets, the greater he commits himself inextricably to Edlund and his Select, becoming one of them not only in body, but also in spirit. But as the preparations for Renewal grow more extreme, and evidence of Barrett's time on the farm begins to reveal the story of the boy's last days, Lee must decide which family he belongs to, which version of himself is true, and what to do about the increasingly unstable community to which he has bound himself. An unflinching thriller stark in both its brutality and humanity, RENEWAL is a cautionary tale from every angle, subversive and raw, and sure to have readers thinking long after the last page has been turned.

Actually, if I had known how good it was, I would have happily paid the full price. It isn’t often that an indie book grabs my interest and doesn’t let go until the very end. After reading the full 560 pages, I was sorry to finish it.I’ve found cults to be interesting ever since the Jonestown massacre happened, followed a few years later by the incident in Waco. This book took elements from both those actual events. The author did a great job weaving together the dynamics of a cult – how people get sucked in to the philosophy, how they are willing to die for the cause (no matter how far-fetched it might be), how the leader becomes a god-like entity, and so on.The book is well written and character development is outstanding. It was fascinating to take a step inside the world of "Mother" and feel as if I was a part of what was happening, relating to the characters and, at times, listing to the cult leader as he rambled his insane preachings, thinking to myself “hmmm, that almost makes sense.” Almost…If you are looking for a suspenseful, realistic and dark thriller, you’ll like this book. It’s just waiting to be “discovered.”Note: I wrote this review because it was a darn good book and it’s my way of showing my appreciation to an author who obviously worked long hours to write it, edit it, and present it to the rest of us. I have never met him.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Powerful plot, amazingly deep characters By ThinkB4UVote What a great book - I truly looked forward to the time I have for reading each day to see what would happen next. The characters in this book are amazingly well developed, to the point that you get the impression they're based on real people that the author knows or knew at some point. Combine that level of character development with the creeping escalation of tensions throughout, and it becomes a very compelling read. As soon as I finish this review, I am looking for more from this author!
