An Edgar Award finalist
A gripping and unforgettable story of survival after life in a cult, inspired by the survivors of the Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas, 1993
The things I've seen are burned into me, like scars that refuse to fade.
Before, she lived inside a fence with her family. After, she's trapped, now in a federal facility.
Before, she was never allowed to leave the property, never allowed to talk to Outsiders, never allowed to speak her mind. After, there are too many people asking questions, wanting to know what happened to her, trying to find out who she really is.
Before, she thought she was being protected from something. After, people are telling her that now she's finally safe.
She isn't sure what's better, before or after, all she knows is that there are questions she can't answer, and if everything she's been told is a lie, how can she know who's telling the truth now?

After the Fire
Ive read this book many times and i dislike reading a lot so being able to be consistent and love it at the same time, means something. This book is full of surprises and adventures to explore.. totally recommend!
One of my all time favorite books!
I read a paperback version of this book in 1.5 days, THATS HOW GOOD IT IS!! I could not stop reading until I got to the end. Keeps you guessing the whole way through ! 10/10
One of my favorites
This book was very compelling and well written. One of my favorite books. I loved the mystery. As a reader, you are put right in the middle with no idea of how you got there and you only learn as much as the character is willing to give up. This book kept me on the edge of my seat dying to learn more of her past
