Spanning 30 years, Child of Wrath is the story of Jonah, initially a tough ten-year old survivor who wants nothing more than a real home where he can be a normal kid. Jonah's erratic and abusive father leads the family on an endless nomadic quest for the next "great thing".
This dangerous odyssey brings the Franklin family to one cult-like compound after another, culmi-nating in a caged life in a missionary compound in the highlands of Papua New Guinea where Jonah will do almost anything to escape.
