A GOLDEN KITE AND MORRIS AWARD HONOR BOOK • A hard-hitting and hopeful novel about the dangers of blind faith—and the power of having faith in yourself.
“A psychological thriller, a commentary on our justice system, and a must-read book.”—Hypable
“Peels back the veneer of fairy tales to reveal their inherent darkness.”—Booklist, starred review
The cult took everything from Minnow.
Twelve years of her life, her family, her ability to trust. And when she rebelled, they took away her hands, too.
Now their Prophet has been murdered and their camp set aflame, and it’s clear that Minnow knows something about what happened that night. As she languishes in juvenile detention, she relives the events that led to her incarceration and struggles to unlearn everything she has been taught to believe. But when an FBI investigator approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she’s always dreamed of—but only if she agrees to divulge her secrets.
