The Church wanted to own him. And then his brother got involved.
Two brothers. One trapped inside a power church’s brutal bootcamp. The other searching for answers that could destroy them both.
Jude and Ben Whitley were children when their parents achieved “Grace” with the Light House Church. Since then, they were thrust into a world of secret rules, unquestioning devotion, and oppressive control. Now, Jude has defied the Church by falling in love with an outsider.
But when she is found dead and Jude is the suspect, the powerful Church convinces the judge to send him to Honor Camp, their brutal reformatory that secretly turns rebellious teens into dutiful followers.
With Jude in the camp, younger brother Ben struggles to stay in communication with him and to keep it hidden, not only from the Church but from their violent father. Then he meets a carefree girl from school who helps him to open up and question everything he’s been told. About his brother. About the Church.
But when Jude goes quiet, Ben discovers the Church has another plan for his brother that has nothing to do with reform. With his new friend’s help, Ben must find the courage to go up against those he fears most to find out the truth.
Before Jude loses more than his soul. Before he loses his life.
