Kate Carr is the luckiest girl in the world. Everyone at school envies her because her father is such a charmer, the most mesmerising minister in Edinburgh. She is his first fruit, his only child, his offering. He is training her up in his image, to have "it" - his special power, the ability to manipulate people. And Kate, an impressionable adolescent, practices the skills he taught her on her equally impressionable friends. But haunted by the loss of her mother and a murky past, Kate's begins to see things in a different light... but how can she change her ways and discover the truth whilst under the scrutiny of her father?
Both a psychological thriller and mystery, this is a dark and gripping read about parental love and control, adolescence and the power of manipulation.
