"Escape from Eden" follows main character Mia who lives with her mother and brother in Edenton, a modern day "Garden of Eden" located deep in the jungles of South America. Mia has lived there since she was ten years old and her mother fell under the Reverend's spell. She doesn't dream of the things the other girls do at Edenton - courting and getting married - Mia dreams of escaping for good. When the gorgeous Gabriel and his family arrive at Edenton, Mia believes she might have found her way out. Along the way, Mia and Gabriel uncover secrets of epic proportions - the Reverend and his paranoid plan to save his flock from the corrupt world for good. Will Gabriel and Mia be able to stop the Reverend before it's too late? Or will they have to sacrifice much more than just their freedom in order to save the ones they love? (Desc. from Amazon, Reviewer SW).
This dystopian YA novel is full of suspense. Lots of plot twists keep readers engaged from start to finish. Highly recommended.
