Coreys mom 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 cant ignore his mothers increasingly wild accusations. Her insistence that God has appointed Corey as his sisters protector. Her declaration that Coreys 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 the trail. Meanwhile, under the night sky, Corey is visited by a flickering ghost, a girl who urges him to fight for a different worldone outside of his mothers spoon-fed tales, one Corey must find before its too late.
Drawing inspiration from his own upbringing in the Mormon church, Corey Egbert welcomes readers on an emotionally stirring, nuanced journey into the liminal spaces between imagination and memory, faith and truth.
