Geneva Withers never lies to her three great-aunts, but she keeps quite a few secrets, all of which she accidentally spills on no other than Damon Priest, a man she hardly knows. Could she trust him to never tell a soul?
Growing up with the tight upbringing and indoctrinated with beliefs of her three great-aunts, Geneva is never spared of the true reasons why she was came to live with them. But as years pass, reading nothing but the bible and going nowhere but the church on Sundays, and being exposed to the eccentric Stratford cousins her aunts warned her about, she begins to grow curious of many things about her own life. Who is she, really? What does she love and hate?
As she takes the first brave steps to find herself, however, she encounters a slight delay when, one Sunday morning at church, she accidentally reveals her deepest secrets to one of the Stratfords: Damon Priest, a man who uses her secrets to bring out things about herself that she never knew existed. Her aunts say he's the devil, and she's scared to end up like her mother. But there's something about Damon Priest that keeps drawing her in. Sin or not, she can only pray.
