Publisher's Summary

Bloomsbury presents Home by Cailean Steed.

Someone has broken into Zoe’s flat. A man she thought she’d never have to see again.

They call him the Hand of God.

He knows about her job in the cafe, her life in Dublin, her ex-girlfriend, even the knife she’s hidden under the mattress.

She thought she’d left him far behind, along with the cult of the Children and their isolated compound Home – but now he’s found her, and she knows she must go back to rescue the sister who helped her escape all those years before.

But returning to Home means going back to the enforced worship and strict gender roles Zoe has long since moved beyond; back to the abuse and indoctrination she’s fought desperately to overcome.

Going back will make her question everything she believed about her past – but could also risk her hard-won freedom. Can she break free a second time?

One – My name is Zoe

Two – I am here to rescue my sister Amy

Three – Nothing anyone says here is true

Four –

Four –

What is my fourth true thing?

Critic Reviews

"Really entertaining and pacy and fun to read, while still playing in that serious emotional territory." (Sara Taylor, author of The Shore and The Lauras)

"A daring debut... Intoxicating, powerful and very visceral. Stunning prose, very dark but also filled with hope and love centred around identity and the struggle to find a sense of belonging. I was desperate for a happy ending." (Caron McKinlay, author of The Storytellers)

"Absorbing, moving, and alarmingly believable, Home is an unforgettable story about identity, family, and the terrifying dynamics of a cult." (Carole Johnstone, author of Mirrorland)

A different story for sure

I thought the narrator did a good job. I got confused at times between the past & the present & the different girls names.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
