Amaranth and her two teenage daughters were staring death in the face as her polygamist husband pledged to take them into the heavens while federal agents waited outside to take action. With her daughters, she flees as far away as she can to escape the horrors and nightmares of the life she has known. Barely knowing how to drive, and with nothing to their name but the items in the trunk, and nowhere to go, Amaranth soon finds herself wrapping the car around the only tree in sight. They are stranded at a rundown gas station, hungry, and the two young girls are utterly terrified. Can Amaranth make a new life for them here in this forsaken place? How do you convince your teenage daughters everything they have been taught is a lie and that their father is not the man they have been lead to believe he is?
Amity and Sorrow is an emotional roller coaster through a life filled with mental anguish, lies, and abuse that provides a way out, and had me questioning what happens when those you love don’t want out and will try and find their way back at all costs, even at the expense of other lives? Author Peggy Riley fills Amity and Sorrow with such defined personalities, sparing no detail, and had me needing to know chapter after chapter what was to come. Amity and Sorrow will leave you on the edge of your seat with suspense as an entire new reality comes crashing down. My only question is when will the next book be coming out?
