This is the gruelling and heartbreaking story of 14-year-old Julia “Turtle” Alveson and her extreme survivalist doomsday-predicting father Martin. They live in an isolated derelict house, stocked up with food to last three years and enough guns to arm a militia. As Turtle goes to school though, her isolated existence and mindset begin to crumble, and she starts to see her father for the controlling and sexually abusive monster that he is. A startling and frank exploration of some deep psychological torment, this book isn’t for the faint of heart, but it rewards the effort if you have the ability to see it through.
