About the Book
In her exciting first book, Emmy writes about her tumultuous childhood in a religious household. Her father is a well-respected minister and her mother is a school teacher. When her mother is caught having a sexual relationship with one of her students, the lives of the entire family changes for good. Emmy and her sister, Madeline, must face the backlash of their mother's choices head-on. Forced into hiding and only their grandmother to care for them, they quickly learn that none of their family seems to be who they are on the surface. In a true story about family, abuse, and the secrets we are told to keep, a young author asks the question: who truly pays for the sins of our parents?
