A voice from within said, ‘Do not be afraid to have the child. The girl will be special. She will set the world free. Humanity will shake off its prison bonds. It is time to be honest with ourselves. It is time to be truthful. It is time we were free.’

This is the Gospel of Joanne Starr, the creed of a twenty-something woman in modern Britain preaching personal and social freedom on a scale never before seen; there is no God, there is no afterlife, so enjoy what you’ve got while you can.

Sex is to be enjoyed. ‘Have who you like, any way you like, but do it safely and with consent,’ Joanne says.

Like all messiahs, her light burns brightly and she changes the world forever – but not without her share of tragedy.
