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 abandoned missile silo in
Eudora, Kansas. At first, she focuses frantically on finding
a way out, until the harrowing truth of her new existence
settles in—the 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. Determined 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 meaning to their lives
below ground. Years later, their lives are ambushed by an
event at once promising and devastating. As Blythe’s dream
of going home hangs in the balance, she faces the ultimate
choice—between survival and freedom. Above is a riveting tale of resilience in which “stunning”
(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.
