Summary
From a New York Times Notable 'writer of great originality' comes a bold new novel about love, faith, and two societal outsiders whose lives converge in the contemporary American South



In 2014, in Lookout Mountain, Alabama, the Prophet—a seventy-year-old man who paints his visions—lives off the grid in a cabin near the Georgia border. While scrounging for materials at the local scrapyard, the Prophet sees a car pull up to an abandoned gas station. In the back seat is a teenage girl with zip ties on her wrists, a girl he realizes he must rescue from her current life. Her name is Michael, and the Prophet feels certain that she is a messenger sent by God to take his end-time warnings to the White House. Michael finds herself in the Prophet's remote, art-filled cabin, and as their uncertain dynamic evolves into tender friendship, she is offered a surprising opportunity to escape her past—and perhaps change her future.



Moving through the worlds of the Prophet, the girl, and a beguiling devil figure who dances in the corner of their lives, Two-Step Devil is a propulsive, philosophical examination of fate and faith that dares to ask what salvation, if any, can be found in our modern world.

Two Step Devil takes place in Alabama, where a man who considers himself the Prophet is painting his visions of gods messages. One day, he sees a car pull up to the dump where he is foraging for supplies and in the backseat is a girl names Michael with zip ties on her wrist and the Prophet is convinced this is a message from God and he must save her. For me, this story kept evolving. It started with the Prophets former life and how he sort of ended up on the fringe of society, painting his visions and it sort of explains how he felt so compelled to save Michael. Michael also had tragic circumstances and these two form an unlikely pair that you keep expecting to get more dark and sordid. The narrator did a great job in keeping you focused in the mindset of Prophet and the last third or so of the book should definitely be read in one go.
