When Allison Jensen was six, she and her best friend were playing in the woods near home. One moment her friend was beside her; then she was gone. When no leads emerged, she was given up for dead. Now, years later, trying to fill in the gaps of a patchwork memory, to make sense of the senseless, Allison still can get no answers from the Mormon community in which she lives. Why is she being fed half-truths? Why is her father able to tyrannize and torment as the self-appointed messenger of God? When a brutal attack on her makes her desperate to escape Mormon bonds, Allison finds herself on a collision course with community leaders as they cover up the steps of a sexual predator. She must stop them before they find her and keep her from piecing together the tragic past that has haunted her life.

Review:
"Startling and compelling--I could not stop turning the pages. Natalie Collins weaves an absolutely riveting tale."- Tess Gerritsen, author of "The Sinner" "A dark, powerful debut novel. Natalie Collins pulls no emotional punches crafting this searing tale of one woman's search for justice."-Lisa Gardner, author of "The Killing Hour" "Natalie Collins' "Wives and Sisters" is a journey through heartbreak, tragedy, and self-discovery with a courageous woman who dares to think for herself in a dogmatic society. This is a story for anyone who has ever questioned what they've been taught all their life; anyone who has ever doubted their self-worth, and everyone who loves to cheer on the underdog and watch them triumph in the end. You'll be glad you took this journey with her."-Tina Wainscott, author of "I'll Be Watching You"
From the Back Cover:
SHE'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED...
Decades ago, young Allison Jensen and her best friend Cindy were separated in the woods. Cindy disappeared forever. Allison survived amid a web of small-town secrets and lies that greeted every anguished question she asked about that fateful afternoon.
SHE'LL NEVER FORGIVE.
Years later, Allison has come home to the bedroom community of Farmington, Utah--back to the devout tyranny of her father, back to the close-knit society she rejected, and back to the conspiracy of silence that has plagued her with nightmares of guilt and loss.
SHE'LL NEVER SURRENDER.
Out of her patchwork memory, the truth is emerging. So is Allison's rage--and her hunger for justice. Now, in a courageous and terrifying voyage of self-discovery, it's up to Allison to avenge the guilty...
"Dark, powerful...[a] searing tale of one woman's search for justice."
--Lisa Gardner, author of The Killing Hour
"This is not a book that can be put down...I had to check the locks before I could go to sleep after finishing."
