Perfect for fans of Kathryn Erskine's Mockingbird and Holly Goldberg
Sloan's Counting by 7s, this is a stunningly unique and poignant story
of one girl's strength and courage as she decides who she is and what
she will believe in.
Behind the white-washed walls of the Arizona compound, life was simple.
Follow the rules, "live in the light," and all would be well. Zylynn was
excited to turn thirteen and begin the work of bringing others into the
light, to save them from the liars and the darkness of the outside
world. But when she is taken away by a man who claims to be her father,
Zylynn is confused, and desperate to return to her home.
Zylynn resists her new life--until she finds small comforts, like
shampoo, the color pink, and strawberries. But as her thirteenth
birthday approaches, Zylynn must make a difficult decision--to stay here
with the enemy, or find her way back to the light. And neither may be
what they seem.
