Publisher's Summary

An emotionally raw debut about the dangers of blind faith - and the power of having faith in oneself.

The cult known as the Community has taken everything from 17-year-old Minnow: 12 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 - but she's not talking. As she languishes in juvenile detention, she struggles to un-learn everything she has been taught to believe, adjusting to a life behind bars and recounting the events that led up to her incarceration. But when an FBI detective approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she always dreamed of - if she's willing to part with the terrible secrets of her past. With a harrowing poetic voice, this gripping story is perfect for listeners who like their novels dark and smart.

A great story

I bought this book mostly because of the show that is based on it. While I haven’t seen the show yet, what I knew intrigued me and I wanted to read the book.

It was worth it. The book eases you in to the life of minnow by essentially starting her tale in the middle of her story. There’s so much intrigue and gentle reader and before I knew it I’d listened to half the book! Certain recommend this one!
