Description
Raised in the glare of reality television and a fiercely judgmental evangelical family, Essie Hicks has learned that every aspect of her life can be turned into a story for public consumption. When an unexpected pregnancy threatens her family’s carefully managed image, producers and parents begin plotting a sensational solution, while Essie secretly recruits Roarke Richards—a classmate with his own reasons for concealing the truth—to help her reclaim control of the narrative. As their staged romance draws media attention, Essie starts questioning the faith, family loyalties, and hidden histories that have shaped her world. This compelling novel explores celebrity culture, religious extremism, manipulation, and the difficult, often costly pursuit of personal freedom.
