NWT. Girl A by Abigail Dean - Softcover

BRAND NEW. 344 pages.  “She thought she had escaped her past. But there are some things you can't outrun. Lex Gracie doesn't want to think about her family or her identity as Girl A the girl who escaped, the eldest sister who freed her older brother and younger sib-lings. It's been easy enough to avoid her parents —her father never made it out of the House of Horrors he created, and her mother spent the rest of her life behind bars. But when her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can't run from her past any longer. Together with her sister, Evie, Lex intends to turn the home into a force for good. But first she must come to terms with her siblings-and with the childhood they shared. What begins as a propulsive tale of escape and survival becomes a gripping psychological family story about the shifting alliances and betrayals of sibling relationships-about the secrets our siblings keep, from themselves and each other. As Lex pins each sibling down to agree to her family's final act, she discovers how potent the spell of their shared family mythology is. Who among them remains in its thrall and who has truly broken free?”
