When college ends and she has no plan, Anna stumbles her way into a convent, the last place she expected to find herself for the rest of her life. But convent life is not the escape she thought it might be, and before long, Anna is harassed by her anxiety and by a mysterious voice that invades her thoughts. Less than a year later, she is back at her childhood home, a place she thought she’d left forever. As she takes a job at her local parish and tries to rebuild a life she thought she had buried for good, Anna must come to terms with abuse in her past, with a family who refuses to acknowledge reality, and—perhaps—with a demonic battle she never asked for.
