Source: Kirkus ·
The novel begins with 15-year-old Lijah coming home to an empty townhouse. His mother has apparently stepped out, and his truck-driver father, who’s been away for work, should have returned days ago. Peace Force officers suddenly show up and drive Lijah to a massive building called Linderhaven. As he checks in, he finds that both his and his mother’s names are wrong on the paperwork; Mother Ruth, who runs the facility, says that he can only stay if he keeps his real name a secret. Lijah soon settles in, despite initial reluctance, thanks to such kindhearted people as his new roommate, Sion Ost
