The Teaching: A Thrilling Suspense Novel T O Paine

Based on the author's true-life experience living in a cult . . .







Raine Harkins believes everything the Teaching tells her-forgiveness is freedom, there are no dead, and there is no dying. She has lived her entire life in the Haven, a small religious community buried in the hills of northern Nevada, and it's been a good life.







But when she discovers a frightened teenage girl hiding in the forest, everything changes. Raine offers to help the girl, but gunshots ring out, and the girl runs away, never to be seen again. A week later, Raine finds a letter pinned to her cabin door-God doesn't want you here. Leave the Haven now, before he runs you down.







Raine can't bear the thought of leaving the only life she's ever known, but the threatening letters keep coming, and her search for the missing girl leads her down a twisted path, unraveling the truth behind the Teaching. It's not a good life-there are dead, and people do die.
