Exploring what happens when love for family and love for religion overlap, this novel follows a woman swept into a religious cult, who believes she has been offered one last chance at salvation. With her deeper involvement in the cult comes increasing alienation from her daughter and husband, resulting in a dangerous entanglement of passion, ambition, love, and duty.
A captivating story peopled with rambunctious characters who continue to surprise until the end." Rachel King, author, The Sound of Butterflies
