But when a school bus accident sends Zoe to the ER, Sarah's life as she knows it explodes in a heartbeat because medical tests show that she isn't Zoe's mother and the lie she has been living all these years is suddenly all too obvious. Who were Zoe's parents Why has Sarah concealed the truth And how will she and Zoe stay off the grid when the cops, the FBI and a sinister religious cult are all hunting them down . . . for very different reasons 'Stephen King is absolutely right.
