Author of “We Burn Daylight”
 

In Conversation with Novelist John Dalton

Based on the true events that unfolded thirty years ago during the siege of the Branch Davidian compound, award-winning novelist Bret Anthony Johnston’s “We Burn Daylight” is an unforgettable love story, a heart-pounding literary page turner, and a profound exploration of faith, family, and what it means to truly be saved. Waco, Texas, 1993. People from all walks of life have arrived to follow the Lamb’s gospel. They’ve come here to worship at the feet of a prophet who is preparing for the End Times with a staggering cache of weapons. Jaye’s mother is one of his newest and most devout followers, though Jaye herself has suspicions about the Lamb’s methods—and his motives.
