When a terrible scourge is unleashed on the world, she and others from their religious community are already hidden deep in the hills of Tennessee, abiding by every rule that will keep them safe, pure--and alive. As long as they stay there, behind the red rope.
Her older brother's questions and the arrival of the first outsiders she's seen in a decade set in motion events that will cause Grace to question everything she has built her life on. Enemies rise on all sides--but who is the real enemy? And what will it cost her to uncover the truth?
I was curious how a book with multiple authors would be, but it was great! I would be so interested to know how the writing process was for this father daughter team. The story was great! Captivating and page-turning. It had echos of The Handmaid's Tale and other books about super legalistic societies. But when you add the dash of Dekker's supernatural events, you get something completely different. The characters had to make difficult and complicated choices. And it was a great perspective of the complexities of society and culture today. What may seem like truth and wisdom may not always be so.
Another great book from Ted Dekker and now I would also really like to read what else Rachelle Dekker has written too.
