In the early 1990s, Jaime is sent to live with her devout Jehovah’s Witness relatives after her father’s death.

But when it becomes too obvious to hide, the community moves to force them to make a terrible choice between faith and love. A story of forbidden romance and intense first love that earns empathy and resonance.
