Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole
and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit trick
y, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater ove
r the gold bicycle shorts.
After all, she was a normal American herself once.
That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and t
he others were taken in by the man they called Father.
In the years since then
, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted sibl
ings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the
books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometime
s, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God.
