Home is a gripping and unforgettable story about identity, family, and the terrifying dynamics of a cult. Written by Carole Johnstone, the book has received high praise from critics, with many calling it a "white-hot gem" and a "brilliantly researched" page-turner. The story follows Zoe, a young woman who has escaped from a cult called the Children and their isolated compound, Home. However, her former captor, known as the Hand of God, has found her and is forcing her to return. Zoe must confront her past and the cult's strict gender roles if she is to rescue her sister, who helped her escape originally. Going back to Home means going back to the abuse and indoctrination Zoe has fought desperately to overcome, and she must question everything she believed about her past. The book is a triumph, and Laura Shepperson, author of forthcoming debut The Heroines, highly recommends it.
