Tarry This Night

In this eerily relevant, cautionarynovel, a civil war is brewing in America. Below ground, a cult led by thedeluded and narcissistic Father Ernst is ensconced in an underground bunker,waiting out the conflict. When the "Family" runs out of food, Ruth, coming ofage and terrified of serving as Ernst's next wife, must choose between obeyingher faith and fighting for survival. Cousin Paul, sent topside to scavenge for food,may return with proof that it is safe for the Family to ascend again. But is itenough to invest all hope in Paul's unlikely return?

Inthis unsettling modern take on the Lilith tale, spirited women resist theirviolent, racist culture and, in so doing, become outlaws. Family membersnavigate a secretive and deadly arena where faith eschews autonomy andrighteousness precludes mercy. With an unwavering eye, Tarry This Night dares to imagine the unthinkable that ispresent-day America, offering a place for resistance and hope for a new andbetter world.
