Lily Calvinson grew up on a compound that would later be described as "the cult of the century." Followers were taught obedience, that God was their enemy, and any interaction or affiliation with churches, Bibles, or Christians could be punishable by death. Raised by the leader of such a massive following, Lily was expected to uphold and enforce the law more so than others. When a stranger steps in and introduces Lily to the forbidden beliefs, she must learn to hide her growing faith in God and protect her true identity passed down from birth.     
                                                                     
Tension builds, love is lost, death reaps, and Lily disappears.      
         
At 25 years of age, Lily now lives with her Aunt Mae, both in protective custody, waiting to testify in the trial against the very cult that left her scarred both physically and emotionally. Before the trial is over, Lily will have to relive every painful moment of her old life if she wants an opportunity at a new life and for justice to be served. 

Even then, it may not be enough.

****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.
