About the Book:
Ten years ago, Grace saw something that would forever change the course of history.
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?
For the first time, bestselling authors Ted Dekker and Rachelle Dekker team up and deliver an intense, tightly focused ride through the most treacherous world of all.
In a world where the boundaries are clear and punishments severe, a young woman risks everything to break free from the system of fear and control to find freedom and love.
My review:
No surprise, this was definitely a suspenseful story! It was a bit of a mind game, also, as cults often use some truth mixed in with the lies so it was hard sometimes to know who to trust. There were supernatural and physical enemies in this story, which made it all the more unnerving. I felt for Grace as she was torn between what she'd been taught since childhood and the new things she was starting to question. It was also heartbreaking to see these people being deceived. I loved the message of choosing love over fear. The message really hit home because I know I give in to fear all too often. I would recommend this book if you like suspense!
I received this book from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
