About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

A gripping novel set inside a cult, where the obedient daughter of the Pastor is the only survivor of a tragedy

Perfect for fans of Louise O’Neill, Girl A and Good me, Bad Me by Ali Land

A fire burns Abigail’s parents’ house to the ground. Takes her parents too.
She’s the only survivor.

The congregation of South Carolina’s New America Baptist Church rallies round.
They won’t let troublemakers near: gawkers, outsiders, the police.

All they ever wanted was to protect innocents like Abigail from a corrupt world.
And hasn’t Abigail always been perfect? A good daughter?

So why have the police got questions?
Why doesn’t Abigail’s story add up?
And when did the church get so suspicious?

Abigail survived the fire.

But can she survive the coming storm?
'A stark, stunning and deeply affecting thriller. I loved it' Chris Whitaker
'A powerful Southern Gothic thriller about the dangers of blind faith, the strength of women, and the deceptive nature of memory' Anna Bailey
‘An eerie, chilling, gorgeously written novel that is unafraid to challenge and question its subject matter' Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
‘Thrilling’ Prima
