Book ID/图书代码: 14780018C00031
English Summary/英文概要: A young woman must infiltrate the house of a secretive cult in Rosalind Noonan’s new novel featuring three sisters, two families and three unreliable points of view.
Eleven years ago, Glory abandoned her two daughters—five-year-old Ruby and baby Aurora—at a fire station, running off to a man who
promised love and protection. Though the refuge she hoped for turned out to be a sham, she believes Ruby and Aurora are better off without her.But Glory has since given birth to another daughter who’s clamoring for a life beyond their close-knit, tightly controlled world.
Sixteen-year-old Ruby loves her adoptive parents, but she hasn’t forgotten Glory. Now that she has her driver’s license, Ruby sets out in search
of her birth mother. What she finds is a ramshackle house of castaway women, referred to as “sisters,” ruled over by a charismatic bully who
monitors their every move.
Glory would take nine-year-old Luna away in a heartbeat if they had somewhere to go. On good days, the girl is confined to the fenced-in yard;
on bad days, she’s sent to the dusty attic as punishment. When Ruby makes contact, Glory seizes on a chance for escape. Ruby is desperate to
help, but how much does she owe to family she barely knows—and how can she fix someone else’s life when she has so little power over her
own?
