the Book Esther Ann Hicks—Essie—is the youngest child on Six for
Hicks, a reality television phenomenon. She’s grown up in the
spotlight, idolized and despised for her family’s fire-and-brimstone
brand of faith. So when Essie’s mother, Celia, discovers that Essie
is pregnant, she immediately arranges an emergency meeting with the
show’s producers. Do they sneak Essie out of the country for an
abortion? Pass the child off as Celia’s? Or do they try to arrange a
marriage—and a ratings-blockbuster wedding?Meanwhile, Essie is
quietly pairing herself up with Roarke Richards, a senior at her
school with a secret of his own. As the newly formed couple attempt to
sell their love story to the media through exclusive interviews with
the infamously conservative reporter Liberty Bell, Essie finds she has
questions of her own: What was the real reason for her older sister
leaving home? Who can she trust with the truth about her family? And
how much is she willing to sacrifice to win her own freedom? About the
