Suspense
I am a secret no one is able to tell. Blythe Hallowell is sixteen when she is abducted by a survivalist and locked away in an abanΒdoned missile silo in Eudora, Kansas. At first, she focuses frantically on finding a way out, until the harrowing truth of her new existence settles inβthe crushing loneliness, the terrifying madness of a captor who believes he is saving her from the end of the world, and the persistent temptation to give up. But nothing prepares Blythe for the burden of raising a child in confinement. DeterΒmined to give the boy everything she has lost, she pushes aside the truth about a world he may never see for a myth that just might give meanΒing to their lives below ground. Years later, their lives are ambushed by an event at once promisΒing and devastating. As Blytheβs dream of going home hangs in the balance, she faces the ultimate choiceβbetween survival and freedom. Above is a riveting tale of resilience in which βstunningβ (Daily Beast) new literary voice Isla Morley compels us to imagine what we would do if everything we had ever known was taken away. Like the bestselling authors of Room and The Lovely Bones before her, Morley explores the unthinkable with haunting detail and tenderly depicts our boundless capacity for hope.
