The Prophet Calls by Melanie SumrowRelease date: November 6th, 2018
Amazon / Book Depository / Indiebound
Summary (from goodreads): Born into a polygamous community in the foothills of New Mexico, Gentry Forrester feels lucky to live among God’s chosen. Here, she lives apart from the outside world and its “evils.”
On her thirteenth birthday, Gentry receives a new violin from her father and, more than anything, she wants to play at the Santa Fe Music Festival with her brother, Tanner. But then the Prophet calls from prison and announces he has outlawed music in their community and now forbids women to leave.
Determined to play, Gentry and Tanner sneak out. But once they return, the Prophet exercises control from prison, and it has devastating consequences for Gentry and her family. Soon, everything Gentry has known is turned upside down. She begins to question the Prophet’s teachings and his revelations, especially when his latest orders put Gentry’s family in danger. Can Gentry find a way to protect herself and her family from the Prophet and escape the only life she’s ever known?
The part where I talk: Cult things are fascinating, okay? And I'm so impressed that a MG book is going to tackle this. Upcoming MG is going to kill it, for reals. What a great idea, really.
Okay, what should I ask this week. Oh, do you play an instrument? If you do, what do you play?
Peace and cookies,
Laina
