My wife and I watched this movie by Kevin Sorbo a few months ago. True story, except for a few key details. Dad Joiner was married at the time he was targeting single women and widows. No, he did not marry Daisy, but he did divorce Lydia and married Dea 3 years after he struck oil. No he did not become a preacher.
