Booksellers Notes
We found Home tense and emotionally driven, using cult trauma and reclaimed agency to examine how hard freedom is won when belonging once meant survival.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Zoe has built a careful life after leaving the cult that raised her. Freedom has been hard won, shaped by distance, silence, and the decision not to look back. Then someone breaks into her flat. He is known as the Hand of God, a figure from a past she believed she had escaped, and he knows exactly how to find her.
The message is simple. If Zoe wants to save the sister who once helped her flee the Children, she must return. Going back means stepping into a world built on control, devotion, and fear, where belief was enforced and doubt punished. It also means facing the parts of her own story she has never fully examined.
Home is a tense, tightly paced novel about survival after indoctrination and the cost of reclaiming yourself. As Zoe retraces the path she fought to leave behind, the book asks what freedom really requires, and whether it can be claimed more than once. Some homes offer shelter. Others demand everything you have to give.
