"A young woman blames her religious upbringing for a friend's suicide and sets out to discover who she is beyond the strict rules of doctrine. Reinventing herself in a new town, she struggles with breaking the taboos of her mother's faith and navigating the lines between friend and lover, child and adult. As she learns new details about events back home, she is forced to reevaluate the childhood she thought she knew."--Taken from back cover.
