Neglected by her mother, abused by her stepfather, and trapped in an oppressive cult, Willow Sands has lived the past three years with the shadow of her 15th birthday hanging over her. That was the day her mother handed her over to David, the son of their leader, promising her a future even more bleak than she'd ever imagined. Now, with her 18th birthday and the day of her wedding fast approaching, she's almost come to accept her fate.
Hope was the last thing Willow expected to feel this close to her wedding, but that's exactly what she finds in Jared. The more time she spends with him, the more haunted she becomes by the freedom she let slip through her fingers all those years ago. She knows if she wants a real future she'll have to break free of the crushing grip the cult has on her, and the more she gets to know Jared, the more determined she becomes to gain her freedom once and for all.
Trigger Warning: This book deals with the subject of rape and may be disturbing to some listeners.
