Overview
For fans of The Wrong Way Home and My Life with the Liars, this gripping coming-of-age story follows a girl who must wrestle with what to do when she realizes she’s lived almost her entire life inside a cult.
Thirteen-year-old Ara lives in an isolated community called Jupiter Station with her family. They abide by the teachings of Father Jupiter, their self-appointed leader, and follow the strict rules laid out in his Book of Jupiter. Ara has always believed what she’s been taught, including Father Jupiter’s prophecy that the family will soon become stardust and ”Ascend to the planet Jupiter,“ where they’ll live together forever. But when her older brother Leo reveals his doubts about Father Jupiter, particularly his story about how they became part of the family, Ara must decide what to do, as she starts to realize he may be right.
Award-winning author Robin Stevenson has written a chilling tale of awakening that readers won’t be able to put down. The gripping story with unexpected plot twists will keep readers guessing to the very end. The fictional world is based on the author’s research of real-world cults, providing fascinating insight into how cults function and how a person’s perceptions of reality can be skewed. Ara’s struggle will raise questions for readers about trusting one’s instincts and what truths are worth uncovering.
