Summary
Two summers after the death of your twin brother, survival feels more like a curse than a blessing. You decide to escape your suffocating hometown and spend your summer break living with your devout grandmother in a small town that leaves little room for the past to stay hidden, where you’re pushed into a church you don’t believe in, and into the path of Father Jud, a young pastor in the midst of rebuilding a broken church while quietly wrestling with a past he refuses to forget.
What are the odds that the two of you find comfort in each other, in ways that feel a little more intimate and a little more forbidden than God ever intended?
Content Warnings: grief, survivor’s guilt, trauma bonding, religious themes.
