sunshine169 's review for:
After the Fire
by Will Hill
Before, she lived inside the fence. Before, she was never allowed to leave the property, never allowed to talk to Outsiders, never allowed to speak her mind. Because Father John controlled everything—and Father John liked rules. Disobeying Father John came with terrible consequences.
But there are lies behind Father John's words. Outside, there are different truths.
Then came the fire.
After the fire is written through the perspective of Moonbeam, a young girl who grow up in a religious cult compound. The book is written in a before and after the day of the fire. We are told the story of her life through a series of flashbacks as her doctor and FBI agent listen to her harrowing tale. The story was engrossing from page one and I felt absolute sorrow for Moonbeam and the other young survivors. The book takes an extra emotional turn towards the end that had me in tears. It is frightening how easy people will dedicate there lives to the wrong person in hopes of salvation. Father John deserves every bad thing in the world.
I received this book through Netgalley in return for an honest review.
