The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly

400 pp. | Dial | June, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-4070-9 $17.99
(3) YA Minnow Bly--a former member of a cult whose hands were amputated as a horrific punishment--is alone in the city. A physical confrontation lands her in a juvenile detention center; suspected of having information about the cult leader's murder, she unveils her story of life under the Prophet's rule. Visceral and frightening, Minnow's story is a fast-paced and absorbing bildungsroman mystery.
