Synopsis
From Kody Keplinger, New York Times bestselling author
of The Duff, comes an addictive YA thriller that's The
Girls by Emma Cline meets The Girls I've Been
by Tess Sharpe.
'Keplinger 's storytelling is strongest when describing
the girls' reactions to a cult leader-like father figure, from
basking in the glow of validation to experiencing self-doubt and
isolation... A story of survival and maintaining empathy despite
dire circumstances.' - Kirkus
There are many reasons why five girls have ended up living with
Sol in a cabin in the Kentucky mountains. But the girls
don't talk about what has brought each of them here or who they
were before. They have become sisters and are grateful to
have a place to call home.
Iris knows she owes everything to Sol. He has promised
to keep them safe from their pasts. All he asks in return is for
their loyalty, which Iris freely gives. With her sisters and Sol
as her family, she feels happier than she has in a long time.
Until a new girl arrives and everything changes.
Sol christens her Rose and the sisters are quick to welcome her.
Iris is drawn to Rose, but as they grow closer, Rose has Iris
questioning things about this life in the woods. When Sol notices,
he challenges Iris to prove her commitment to their family. Her
sisters tell her that she should be willing to do anything for the
man who saved her. But with each new ask, Iris realizes there
is more to Sol -and her sisters - than she knows and
some secrets should stay buried deep.

story of shifting power and found family. -

Been -
