Synopsis

Following the sudden, tragic death of her mother, fourteen-year-old Mira is forced to move across the country and live with her distant Aunt Vivian. Her Aunt, though warm and loving, is devoutly religious and a strict disciplinarian.

She decides to home school Mira against her wishes, determined to keep tight control of every aspect of Mira's life. It soon becomes clear that the home school lessons are intended to indoctrinate her into a cult, one that has a particularly sinister obsession with Mira.

A coming-of-age, religious horror/thriller drawing inspiration from Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby and Stephen King's Carrie, Home School is a story of youth coming to terms with death, grief, and the mechanisms society and organized religion use to control and shape us.
