Fifteen-year-old Meredith's father sexually abused her for years before being imprisoned. Now he's been released early and moved back home, and Meredith's mother — still in love with him — refuses to believe what he did. Wiess's debut novel is a searing, unflinching examination of abuse, complicit denial, and a teenager's fight to survive.
