Gorgeously written, breathlessly page-turning and sprinkled with moments of unexpected humor, this harrowing debut is perfect for readers of Emily Murdoch's If You Find Me and Nova Ren Suma's The Walls Around Us, as well as for fans of Orange is the New Black. The Kevinian cult has taken everything from seventeen-year-old Minnow: twelve years of her life, her family, her ability to trust. But when an FBI detective approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she always dreamed of-if she's willing to part with the terrible secrets of her past. THE SACRED LIES OF MINNOW BLY With a harrowing poetic voice, this contemporary page-turner is perfect for fans of Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, Julie Berry's All The Truth That's in Me, and the works of Ellen Hopkins.
As she languishes in juvenile detention, she struggles to un-learn everything she has been taught to believe, adjusting to a life behind bars and recounting the events that led up to her incarceration. Now their Prophet has been murdered and their camp set aflame, and it's clear that Minnow knows something-but she's not talking. She has an MFA in poetry from Eastern Washington University. And when she rebelled, they took away her hands, too. Stephanie Oakes lives in Spokane, Washington, and works as a library media teacher in a combined middle and elementary school. **THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED SACRED LIES, DEBUTING JULY 27 ON FACEBOOK WATCH**Ī hard-hitting and hopeful story about the dangers of blind faith-and the power of having faith in yourself.
