And now for a tale of survival and amazing redemption....
Synopsis:
The things I’ve seen are burned into me, like scars that refuse to fade.
Before, she lived inside the fence. Before, she was never allowed to leave the property, never allowed to talk to Outsiders, never allowed to speak her mind. Because Father John controlled everything—and Father John liked rules. Disobeying Father John came with terrible consequences.
But there are lies behind Father John’s words. Outside, there are different truths.
Then came the fire.
Review:
Want a book you literally CAN'T put down for some weekend reading? THIS is the book for you! By going back and forth in time, Hill does a supreme job in showing not only how controlled Moon was, but how understandable her assumptions were, and what it took to have them changed. In many ways it's a case of traditional adolescence, but with a surreal backdrop. The inner workings of Moon's mind soon seem apparent, and the reader thinks they know what really happened the day of the fire at the compound, but when she finally tells what did, even the most jaded reader will intake a breath and forget it's 'just a story'. Hill has given us such a realistic tale (which makes sense, as he based the idea on the Waco tragedy), that many readers will find them thinking of the book for days after the finish reading it. Not to be missed, make sure you read this amazing book!
