Book Overview
**THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED SACRED LIES, DEBUTING JULY 27 ON FACEBOOK WATCH** A hard-hitting and hopeful story about the dangers of blind faith--and the power of having faith in yourself. Finalist for the Morris Award. The Kevinian cult has taken everything from seventeen-year-old Minnow: twelve years of her life, her family, her ability to trust. And when she rebelled, they took away her hands, too. Now their Prophet has been murdered and their camp set aflame, and it's clear that Minnow knows something--but she's not talking. As she languishes in juvenile detention, she struggles to un-learn everything she has been taught to believe, adjusting to a life behind bars and recounting the events that led up to her incarceration. But when an FBI detective approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she always dreamed of--if she's willing to part with the terrible secrets of her past. Gorgeously written, breathlessly page-turning and sprinkled with moments of unexpected humor, this harrowing debut is perfect for readers of Emily Murdoch's If You Find Me and Nova Ren Suma's The Walls Around Us, as well as for fans of Orange is the New Black.

I want to read it over & over again

I read this book in one day because I found myself unable to put it down. Minnow is such a strong character & it’s a pleasure to watch the way she grows & develops through the book. The end didn’t surprise me as much as I thought it would but it was not disappointing. In a world that fears cults, this book brings one to life so clearly that it could almost be believed as real. I liked this book so much I find myself wanting to re-read it even though I just put it down. Definitely one of my favorites!
7 hours and some minutes. Could not put it down!

I dont believe in spoilers so in just going to tell you that this book is amazing. Now if you came here because the show I will warn you, the show deviated from the book extremely by episode 5. You're going to want to consider them two seperate entities. The book is fantastic!
