Description

Fresh from the triumph of the bestselling We Were the Mulvaneys, Joyce Carol Oates continues her exploration of family love and the possibilities of human redemption.

At five, Ingrid Boone loves her father with all the innocence and blind trust of childhood--until he abandons her and her beautiful young mother in the wake of a violent crime. Desperate to recapture his lost love and hungry for any kind of mercy at a man's hand, Ingrid allows boys and men to abuse her as she searches for affection in the alcohol, drugs, and sex they offer.

When she is targeted as prey by a charismatic leader of a violent cult, Ingrid falls to her blackest moment of despair--yet it is here that she finds unexpected salvation and the will to reclaim her life and heart from the men who have taken it.
