He thought he could destroy me. Threatened me. Murdered the people around me. Then trapped me with no way out. What he didn't realize was I had the devil on my side. He played the long game. Longer than anyone thought. He thought he was smart with an entire town on his side. He tried to destroy my life and everything I loved. But I grew up in a different part of town. And where I was from, we protected our own. It may not be pretty, but watching him break into nothing may be the happiest moment of my life. I just hope the devil doesn't trick me again.

Raised in a cult where opinions and freedom in women were not tolerated, Mara Greene narrowly escaped a life as a child bride—one where she would’ve been shared and owned by all the men in the compound.
