Two girls. One vow. The gap between faith and what's actually happening.
Emily Carson meant every word.
When she stands at the microphone at her church's purity banquet and makes her vow in front of two hundred people, it's real—the ring, the covenant, the belief underneath it all. She's not performing. She means it.
What follows will cost her everything she didn't know she was risking.
Told in alternating voices, The Vow follows Emily and her peer Becca Martin through the months after the banquet—as Emily's sincere faith brings her into conflict with the institution that shaped it, and as Becca rises within that institution in ways she is only beginning to understand. Neither girl is a rebel. Both are true believers. And the gap between what they were taught and what they are living is growing harder to ignore.
For anyone who grew up inside a community like this one.
For anyone who is still trying to figure out what they actually believe.
The Vow is the first book in a trilogy.
