A New York Times Editors' Choice Pick!

"It would never work out, but I'm in love with Ruth."--Ron Charles, The Washington Post

"A wonderful, loving, tenderly teasing and often moving portrait ... [a] standout."--Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal

"There are inklings of greatness in Kate Riley's first novel... I suspect it will become an underground classic."--Dwight Garner, The New York Times

In this mesmerizing and profound novel, the arc of a woman's life in a devout, insular community challenges our deepest assumptions about what infuses life with meaning.

Ruth is raised in a snow globe of Christian communism, a world without private property, television, or tolerance for idle questions. Every morning she braids her hair and wears the same costume, sings the same breakfast song in a family room identical to every other family room in the community; every one of these moments is meant to be a prayer, but to Ruth they remain puzzles. Her life is seen in glimpses through childhood, marriage, and motherhood, as she tries to manage her own perilous curiosity in a community built on holy mystery. Is she happy? Might this in fact be happiness? Ruth immerses us in an experience that challenges our most fervent beliefs.

Kate Riley was raised in New York City. This is her last book.
