About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the weight of peer pressure or struggling to reconcile their unique personal gifts with the expectations of a rigid community. It is an ideal choice for a young person who feels misunderstood or unfairly judged by their peers or local authority figures. The story follows sixteen-year-old Molly Sheldon, who discovers she has the gift of psychic healing. Instead of being celebrated, she becomes the target of a modern-day witch hunt led by conservative community members. Through Molly's journey, the book explores the vital importance of standing up for one's truth, the complexity of religious and ideological intolerance, and the courage required to protect one's identity. It is a sophisticated read for older teens that navigates themes of justice and personal integrity in the face of mob mentality.
