What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

A gripping novel set inside a cult, where the obedient daughter of the Pastor is the only survivor of a tragedy

Perfect for fans of Louise O’Neill, Girl A and Good me, Bad Me by Ali Land

A fire burns Abigail’s parents’ house to the ground. Takes her parents too.
She’s the only survivor.

The congregation of South Carolina’s New America Baptist Church rallies round.
They won’t let troublemakers near: gawkers, outsiders, the police.

All they ever wanted was to protect innocents like Abigail from a corrupt world.
And hasn’t Abigail always been perfect? A good daughter?

So why have the police got questions?
Why doesn’t Abigail’s story add up?
And when did the church get so suspicious?

Abigail survived the fire.

But can she survive the coming storm?

‘An eerie, chilling, gorgeously written novel that is unafraid to challenge and question its subject matter' Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

Critics Review

A stark, stunning and deeply affecting thriller. The Good Daughter takes a tender, chilling look at family and fear, the illusion of safety and the power of inner-resolve. I loved it.
