everything inside The Fence. And Father John likes rules. Especially about
never talking to Outsiders. Because Father John knows the truth. He knows what
is right, and what is wrong. He knows what is coming. Moonbeam is starting to
doubt, though. She's starting to see the lies behind Father John's words. Then
a fire engulfs life as she knew it, and Moonbeam is forced outside The Fence
into a world she does not recognize.” –WorldCat
