Freedom is a state of mind…Hannah thinks she’s happy. She lives with her Daddy in a quiet Hampstead street, and she has never been outside. She sits in silent, empty rooms, she listens to what she's told, and she learns to be good. She is almost twelve, and she is almost ready.But Lily is there too, of course …Wild and wicked, small and fiery, her little sister will not be quiet. She stirs up noise and uproar in the silent house and brings down trouble on both their heads. She fights their Daddy at every turn and will not submit, will not be good. She is determined to escape, to leave the safety of their home, and to bring Hannah with her, like it or not.
