Howard has a natural gift for time, place, and setting, and her pacing and suspense are propulsive.” — ROBERTA RICH, #1 bestselling author of The Jazz Club Spy“This fascinating story of a young girl’s escape from her closed polygamous community cuts straight to the heart.” — ELINOR FLORENCE, bestselling author of Wildwood and Bird’s Eye View“This 1960s set story of a fundamentalist Mormon who escapes her polygamist community when faced with the prospect of a forced marriage to a man four times her age is certain to appeal to anyone who couldn’t look away from Netflix docs like Keep Sweet: Pray, and Obey.” — PasteMagazine.com“Fans of historical fiction about women’s rights will be enthralled to read about 15-year-old Daisy who, in 1964, escapes a forced marriage in her fictional polygamist community called Redemption, only to be called back years later to help her childhood best friend.” — Zoomer
