Synopsis

Lutishia Lovely returns with a compelling and provocative new novel where the clash between personal
freedoms and religious convictions become a matter of life and death.

When eighteen-year-old Raina Reed is given an ultimatum—her family or her first love—she chooses the latter,
leaves the rigid cult community she’s grown up in and finds herself shunned, ex-communicated … ghosted. Not
seeing her parents is tolerable. Raina is happy for more time with her sweet, talented boyfriend Bryce, and enjoys the
freedom found in living with him, his free-spirited cousin, Jackie, and Jackie’s mom Valerie, a struggling attorney. But
her heart breaks at the thought of not seeing her baby sister. Abby is ten years younger and they’ve never spent one
day apart—until now.

While Raina embraces her new life, she can’t shake her concern about Abby, especially when a lingering illness
worsens and her parents refuse to seek medical help. Raina is determined to break through the religious rules that stand
in the way of her sister’s well-being. Drawing on her new family and support system, including chanting, angel-card
reading Jackie, justice-seeking Valerie, loving Bryce, and his eccentric grandmother, Raina finds her own kind of faith,
one built on a love strong enough to move mountains …

Goodreads review by QUEENIE on March 22, 2020

Raina does not want to be a part of this religion. She can't wait to move out and start a new life. She loved life before her mother married her stepfather. Life was more fun then. Raina is almost a grown woman who sacrifices for her little sister Abby. I can relate to the relationship she had with......more
