Mary Purnell,  along with her husband Benjamin, founded the House of David  in Benton Harbor, Michigan. After his death, she had to  overcome a series of challenges to create her own colony,  the City of David. Some of the tenets of her faith included  celibacy, vegetarianism and pacifism. This fascinating  story of a charismatic woman will introduce the person,  beliefs and achievements of Mary Purnell to a new  generation."--Back cover blurb.},
