We Are Incredible is Margery Latimer's first novel, published in 1928. It tells the story of a small-town woman, Hester Linden, and her cult-like influence on a small band of followers, leaving them virtually lifeless. The novel was partly based on the sometimes manipulative influence that Zona Gale had on Latimer.[1] Linden's physical appearance is closely modelled on Gale's.[2]
Latimer died a few years after the novel was published, and her works essentially disappeared. She was rediscovered in the 1980s, and her works have received some critical attention, however, the novel has not been republished.
