**SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 KOBO EMERGING WRITER PRIZE**
As
fifteen-year-old Joseph Carver peels back the layers of a haunted past,
he finds himself lost in the shadows of his mother's unorthodox
religion; desperate to uncover the truth about his father's death and
the sister he never met—learning that sometimes, it is only through
great loss that you can finally let go and begin to understand your own
story.
