Nine-year-old Janet Moore is so tired of going to church. Boring clothes, boring sermons, boring family. But during one particular Sunday service, she’s in for a shock when her father, the church deacon, starts acting strangely. He’s down and out rude to a beautiful first-time visitor who stands during testimony service to share how good the Lord has been to her. She doesn’t even get her words out before Janet’s father cuts her off and tells the band to crank up the volume.

Soon after, a toxic secret is exposed. Janet’s secure young life explodes into a million pieces. She calls on Jesus for help. But He doesn’t come to her rescue. Neither does her mother because she's got problems of her own.

Janet struggles to contain her anger. She wants everyone who’s ruined her life to burn in hell. If only she had a match. Can Janet wait for the Lord’s vengeance? Or is this sassy, outspoken, nosey child about to become her holier-than-thou father's worst nightmare?

Find out in this dark psychological novel which exposes the secrets buried behind the illusion of a happy, God-fearing family.
