Our Orbit
By Anesa Miller
Genre: Mainstream/Literary Fiction
Available on Amazon!
Synopsis:
In Anesa Miller’s new book, Our Orbit, nine-year-old Miriam
Winslow has never worn new clothes, was not permitted to cut her hair, and
believes that children must repent their sins with major displays of remorse,
or harm will come to their loved ones. Barely half a year after her mother’s
death, Miriam is thrust into a different world when her father, a militant tax
protester, is jailed on weapons charges.
Miriam finds herself in foster care, her teenage siblings
sent to other homes.
College-educated Rick and Deanne Fletcher quickly come to
love their “new little girl.” Then they encounter the rest of Miriam’s family:
Uncle Dan believes he was abducted by aliens. Sister Rachel, just out of
juvenile detention, harbors many painful secrets. Brother Josh is outraged that
the Fletchers disrespect Christian teachings. When his plan to remove Miriam
from their home fails, Josh reacts with growing hostility to outside
interference in their way of life.
