Summary

Ten years ago, God gave Braden a sign, a promise that his family wouldn’t fall apart the way he feared.

But Braden got it wrong: his older brother, Trey, has been estranged from the family for almost as long, and his father, the only parent Braden has ever known, has been accused of murder. The arrest of Braden’s father, a well-known Christian radio host has sparked national media attention. His fate lies in his son’s hands; Braden is the key witness in his father’s upcoming trial.

What They're Saying

Critics Review

  • “A poignant look at the messiness of love, faith, and humanity.”–School Library Journal
    “Gilbert respectfully and sensitively handles themes of faith, religion, and family [a] moving debut.”–Booklist
    “There are no easy answers. Love is both beautiful and cruel. God is both loving and mysterious. And family is both comforting and suffocating. Both hopeful and devastatingly real.”–Kirkus Reviews
