Road to Bliss

Set against the vividly described Prairies in the heart of a cloistered religious sect, this is a gripping novel from a beloved Canadian author.Fifteen-year-old Jim Hobbs, alienated from life in Toronto, hitchhikes to the Prairies on a whim, where he finds shelter in an abandoned farmhouse. There, he encounters his neighbours, members of Majestic Farm, a group that abides by an old-fashioned, ultra-conservative set of rules enforced by their ruthless pastor. When Miriam, one of the pastors daughters, secretly befriends Jim, they must hide their blossoming love for one another or face terrifying consequences. In helping Miriam to escape her religious imprisonment on the farm, Jim must risk everything.From the Trade Paperback edition.
