My first novel by Parrish begins with a young Molly Fisk going to a bank with her father. Just as they are about to leave, robbers enter and kill her father. They then kidnap Molly until she is saved two weeks later. The ordeal, however, leads to her muteness, the core of the novel. Unable to deal with life in their town, Molly and her mother move and become virtual recluses in a new town until Claire, a female friend from six years earlier, begins to develop a relationship with Molly, drawing her out of her quietness. Molly's mother, however, is uncomfortable and jealous of the relationship between the two. As a result, Claire finds Molly's house empty one day, the two having disappeared. I will leave the rest to your imagination... God acts in strange ways.
