Ivy Carle was raised in The Truth, groomed to become the ideal Witness and avoid all that is worldly in order to enter Jehovah’s paradise when it comes. She has a model Witness family right out of a Watchtower magazine, her father being an elder in their congregation and her mother the perfect wife. Ivy’s future is laid out for her, and all she needs to do is obey the will of Jehovah, endure persecution and loneliness like all good Witnesses, and turn a blind eye to the lie that is staring her in the face, the lie that is her ticket to paradise. But she commits a crime; she bears a mixed-race love child and is shunned by the people she thought would stand up for her no matter what. Fearing for her own daughter’s salvation, Ivy faces a raging battle within that will ultimately open her eyes to the so-called Truth that she was made to believe all her life.
