Valerie Danners is in a cult. She just doesn t know it yet. But when she stumbles upon a queer romance novel at the library, everything about her life centered around a conservative Christian homeschool cult is thrown into question. And to complicate matters, there s a new girl in town. Riley is rebellious, kind-hearted, and impossibly cool. As the two bond over being multiracial teens in their very white and very religious community, Valerie finds herself falling in love. Soon Valerie and Riley are exchanging notes in Bible class and stealing kisses behind the church. But even as their romance blooms, Valerie knows that they re trapped. If Valerie wants a chance at writing her own story, she must choose between staying with a family she fears will never accept her, or running away with the girl she loves.
