Alice LaPlante's acclaimed internal thrillers are distinguished by their stunning synthesis of family episode and engrossing suspense. Her new book is an impacting foray deeper into the creases of family life - and the light-and-dark challenge of beliefs - as LaPlante delves into the barbed psyche of a teenager whose misguided convictions endure irrevocable implications. Never someone to conform, Anna always acquired trouble fitting in. Earnest and willful, as a young female she quickly discovered how to hide her quirks from her parents and friends. But when, at sixteen, an abrupt melancholia takes hold of her life, she manages to lose her sense of home and purpose. Then the Goldschmidts move in next door. They're active people of a spiritual cult, and Anna is awestruck by both their child, Lars, and their fervent violent prophecies for the Tribulation by the end of Days. Within a few months, Anna's life - her family, her home, her very identification - will undergo profound changes. But when her newfound beliefs threaten to push her over the border, she must find her way back to center by using unlikely friends. A romantic story of destruction and renewal, New York Times bestselling publisher LaPlante provides a haunting exploration of family legacies, devotion, and tangled relationships.
