If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans.
Genesis Serena Hale Reeves is the picture of a perfect First Lady-beautiful, graceful, and married to one of Atlanta's most admired pastors, Omari Silas Reeves. To the congregation, their life looks blessed. But behind the church doors and Sunday smiles lives a truth no one wants to see.
Genesis has spent her whole life being taught that suffering is love.
Raised inside the Family of Christ, a secluded cult in Texas, she grew up watching men beat their wives in the name of God. When a federal raid tore her away from the only world she knew, she thought the worst was over.
She was wrong.
Years later, the boy who once protected her from being mocked as the strange "cult girl" became the man she married-the man who now controls her life with fear, scripture, and violence.
Now a mother to a quiet, autistic daughter who the church whispers cruelly about, Genesis begins to question everything she was ever taught about love, faith, and obedience.
But leaving the man the world calls a holy leader may cost her everything.
Some nightmares refuse to let their victims go without a fight.
Because the most dangerous prisons aren't built with walls.
They're built with love.
And Genesis is about to discover just how far she's willing to go to break free.
