A page-turning literary debut about a mother and her two teenage
daughters escaping a cult and starting over. Two sisters sit in the
backseat of a car, bound at the wrists by a strip of white cloth.
Their mother, Amaranth, drives for days without pause, desperate to
get away from the husband she fears will follow them to the earth's
end. Her daughters, Amity and Sorrow, cannot comprehend why they're
fleeing or fathom what exists outside their father's polygamous
compound. When an exhausted Amaranth crashes their car in rural
Oklahoma, rescue arrives in the form of Bradley, a farmer not
unfamiliar with loss and uncertain futures. At first mistrustful of
the strange, prayerful trio, Bradley allows his abiding tolerance
to get the best of him, and the four become a new kind of family.
Full of achingly beautiful prose, AMITY & SORROW is a
mesmerizing debut about belief, redemption, and the dark heart of
extreme faith.
