Forgive Our Ignorance - by Caitlin Mazur (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The fall of humanity. A lifetime of lies. When the devout daughter of a religious Prophet discovers the role her father played in destroying mankind, she'll have to fight not just for her freedom, but for her life.

Follow God. Obey the Prophet. Become a wife. Have a baby. Leave your old family behind to join a new one. Rewards only come to obedient and pious girls. For Maura Coutts, the daughter of the Prophet, it doesn't matter that a plague decimated the outside world a little over a year ago. She has plenty to focus on, until the day she falls into the creek.

Swept away from the borders of her commune, Maura is saved by an Outsider who isn't supposed to exist. And when he brings her into a group of his own, she learns what really happened when disease arrived on their shores - and the role her beloved Prophet played in it. Can Maura survive a brutal world that hates her and everything she once believed in, or is she doomed to return to a commune that will stop at nothing to protect their lies?

Forgive Our Ignorance is the first book in a dystopian thriller series that follows the struggle of a sheltered woman navigating an apocalyptic landscape. After a lifetime of deception, she discovers that the men she's relied on for so long only have their own best interests in mind. And it's time for someone to fight back.
