I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review, so here it is. This story will take you on a journey with Jesse and Abby. They are living in the LIFE, a cult where they are told how to think, dress and what to believe or the will be sent to hell. When Jesse and Abby are caught alone together, the elders and Gideon (who seems to be taking over) banish Jesse and marry Abby off to Bob, a man in his sixties with three wives already. Things are bad for both Jesse and Abby but Jesse finds some friends to help him adjust. When he realizes that he should not have left Abby, he decides he has to go back for her. Abby has already been through hell. Her husband forces himself on her and the other wives and their children hate her and make things difficult for her. She believes that God hates her and doesn't care what happens to her. Things get good when Jesse comes back for her. V.J. Chambers will pull you into this story and show you how things might be. Things you may or may not have any idea was happening all in the name of religion. I know this is fiction but it will make you wonder just how close this story is to real life. So pick this one up and enjoy it and learn from it. I love V.J. Chambers writing and will read anything she writes. Thanks for sharing you insight in this story with us.
