The Liar's Daughter by Megan Cooley Peterson

The Liar's Daughter by Megan Cooley Peterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Narrated by Melissa Moran, this book about a girl involved in a cult was mesmerizing as the narrator, Piper age 17, alternates between BEFORE and AFTER telling of her life that she loves in the cult with Father and Mother and her many brothers and sisters and friends, Caspian and Luke (?). The author reeled me in with Piper's love of father and mother in BEFORE and it is as time goes on and others question father and mother that the reader sees how indoctrinated Piper has become. It is AFTER when the compound is invaded by the authorities and Piper is now in a home with a woman, child and dog, that things roll out of control for Piper as she stops eating, sleeping, bathing and plots escape all the while talking to a therapist, making friends with the girl next door. The Authors Note was so important to read, this is a book teens will enjoy as a story and cautionary tale that can and does happen.
