It makes me wonder . . . how much of my childhood was real.
Corey’s mum has always made him feel safe. Especially after his parents’ divorce, and the dreaded visitations with his dad begin. But as Corey grows older, he can’t ignore his mother’s increasingly wild accusations. Her insistence that God has appointed Corey as his sister’s protector. Her declaration that Corey’s father is the devil.
Soon, she whisks Corey and his sister away from their home and into the boiling Nevada desert. There, they struggle to survive with little food and the police on their trail. Meanwhile, under the night sky, Corey is visited by a flickering ghost, a girl who urges him to fight for a different world - one outside of his mother’s spoon-fed tales, one Corey must find before it’s too late.
Drawing inspiration from his own upbringing in the Mormon church, and inspired by his own life experiences, Corey Egbert welcomes readers on an emotionally stirring, surreal journey into the liminal spaces between imagination and memory, faith and truth.
