11,422 people will go to heaven. Outsiders are sinners, so you shouldn’t go near them. Members of the church should obey the church elders and they must never lie. These are only some of the strict rules and beliefs that Grace’s church has.
It all starts at a barbecue held at Grace’s place. Her father starts asking questions and he gets into an argument. Then the sausages catch fire. Then the barbecue comes to an abrupt end.
Grace’s father always questions the elders, so as you can imagine, Grace does to. Asking questions that the elders can’t answer is considered a sin. The only way to stop Grace growing up to be a sinner like her father is to remove him, and that is what happens.
Grace will do anything to get her father back, even break the rules, which is exactly what she does.
This book follows Grace’s desperate and crazy attempts to reunite her family. It has a strong message which I think is presented well. While I was reading, I felt like she was me and it was all happening right now, right infront of me. I recommend reading this book it is a quite challenge book but very interesting and I would love to read more.
I really like the sound of this book. It must be hard to grow up in such a strict family with so many limits on communication. Include a pic of the book cover.
