Escape from Eden
Elisa Nader
A story about one girl and boy who set
out to expose the outrageous greed and
lies behind so-called “sacred” walls
• Raised since the age of six in Edenton—a fundamentalist religious
cult in the South American jungle—Mia has always had
her doubts. She’s a teenager now, in line for an arranged marriage,
and the fanatical preacher her mother followed halfway
around the world seems to be losing his mind
• Based on true historical tragedies such as the Jonestown Massacre
in 1978 and the Waco Massacres in 1993, this is a story of
the dangers of trusting any authority too much. Teens embarking
on the quest to find their own identities should respect elders’
teaching, but question everything until they find their own truths
Although raised by a strict religious cult in the South American jungle,
Mia has always been a doubter among the true followers. While they
blindly follow every word spoken by the fiery preacher who demands
absolute loyalty, Mia longs to escape. With Gabe, the rebellious teenage
son of a new family, Mia starts unraveling the secrets of the cult,
darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined. Racing against
the clock, Mia must fight to save her loved ones before the reverend
can act on his plan to destroy the only world she’s ever known.
