A prisoner in her own home. Held captive by someone who was supposed to protect her, who'd taken an oath to protect all innocents. When Avery Asher's policeman father is finally sentenced for the neglect and abuse he put her through, she takes it as a sign that things are about to change for the better. She spends the next two years enjoying her freedom, learning to trust again. Learning to live again. But as with all good things, they come to an end sooner or later. When one insignificant act of stupidity turns into one of the biggest mistakes of her life, it sends her reeling. Suddenly events from her childhood come rushing back to haunt her. Things are happening all over again, only this time it's much worse. You'd think witnessing a murder was simple. You report it, testify, and move on. Unfortunately, accusing a policeman of murder when no one believed her the first time isn't something Avery can do. Now on the run for her life, she enlists the help of an acquaintance Eli Kindred. A man of questionable background who seems to specialise in kicking ass, as well asevading all of her probing questions. Not that Avery cares much at the moment. If she survives the week, she'll make it her personal mission to crack the mystery of Eli Kindred.

Eli told Naomi he would wait forever, until the day he ended his life. When they met in her freshman year of college, Naomi never told her ultra-conservative father that she had found love. Eli swore he would wait until she was ready, but Naomi always knew he wanted more than anything to share every part of their lives with each other. He was getting frustrated by the walls she couldn't break down. Is that what led him to let it all end? After Eli's death, Naomi finds herself back under her Father's thumb. Upon discovering her double life, he makes her choose between life in the cult-like church she was raised and becoming permanently disowned. Unable to leave questions about Eli's death unanswered, Naomi musters every ounce of courage she possesses to break free from her Father's control once and for all. Naomi embarks on a journey into Eli's past that leads to both new connections and devastating truths about her own family. Naomi soon realizes that her whole life is a mystery, built on lies and filled with twists and turns she never could have anticipated. Both an empowering coming-of-age story and a dark look at corrupted faith and loyalty, The Prodigal keeps readers guessing and leaves them asking important questions.
