YA
Sixteen-year-old Castley and her five siblings live in a dilapidated house in the woods under their father's strict eye. They've always believed they are the last pure people on Earth and that God speaks through their father. But when Castley befriends her drama partner at school, her eyes are opened to normal life. Wass delivers one emotional blow after another without veering into melodrama.
