More about the book

Amen McBee, the youngest of five sisters, has a deep love for words, contrasting sharply with her mischievous elder twin sisters, the Bellas, who spin terrifying tales about their reclusive neighbor, Mr. Tominski. They portray him as a dangerous figure, while their father insists he is harmless. When tragedy befalls the family, Amen faces a crucial decision about whom to trust, navigating the tension between her sisters' fears and her father's reassurances. This coming-of-age story explores themes of belief, family dynamics, and the quest for truth.
