Piper was happy living in The Community with her brothers and sisters, even though they only saw Mother and Father once in a great while and were raised by the Aunts instead. Until that day when the awful people ripped her away from everything she remembers.  Now she lives with “the woman” who won’t let Piper go Home and won’t let her see Mother or Father.  When can Piper finally go home?

Peterson takes a powerful look at the evil of people manipulating small children for control and the power of the mind to finally free itself from lies.
