I read this book in two days. The plot is fast-paced and riveting.
Zoe keeps to herself. She doesn't trust anyone. Then a confused teenager enters the diner where Zoe waitresses. She is compelled to help her even if it means risking her life. As they flee the government, Zoe is forced to confront her past and expose the lies she has been believing.
This book is labeled "Christian". God, however, is not mentioned as the answer or even in a positive light (Zoe grew up in a cult). A Christian believer can pick up overtones of God's redemption, the power of love and a transformed life in Christ (new creation).
*Highly recommend for readers who like suspense and a plot-driven book.
Warnings: lots of violence/killing/humans being tortured, cult influences, one time the characters drink whiskey & beer, Seely's wife has an affair with a pastor and leaves him because the affair was "the calling of God" and abandons their daugther (the affair is only mentioned-no details included)
-Borrowed from the library.
This book is loosely connected to the book Rachelle Dekker wrote with her dad, Ted Dekker The Girl Behind the Red Rope.
