Agnes and Honey are best friends growing up on a religious commune in Connecticut. Neither of them have ever been outside the commune perimeters because their leader, Emmanuel, forbids it to protect them from sin. All that changes when Nana Pete shows up for an unexpected visit. She hears rumors about a special room where children endure punishment. When Agnes' little brother Benny is accidentally injured, Emmanuel refuses to get him professional medical treatment. Nana Pete decides to make a break for it with Honey, Agnes, and Benny on a journey that will change each of their lives. Agnes, a devoted "Believer", does not agree with what they are doing and schemes to return to her parents at the commune, although Honey is thrilled to be free from the confines of the commune and struggles to make Agnes realize their good fortune. There are several surprising twists along the way and the suspense of whom will succeed, Honey or Agnes, will keep the pages turning.
