Brought up in a strict fundamentalist home, eighteen-year-old Grace feels trapped in a “suburban Alcatraz” by her overbearing father and her timid mother. An affair with a college professor—a man of the world who’s more likely to quote Shelley than scripture—seems like a great escape.

Disturbing portrait of a girl raised by fundamentalist Christians, and how it colors her life when she falls in love with an older man. The characterizations are well-done for the main characters, and the story is quite believable.
