Sorrowland is a science-fiction novel about a child raised in a cult who, pregnant with her cult-leader's children, runs away from the compound that has been her entire life. She raised her kids in the woods for years before changes to her body (NOT of the normal variety) force her to seek outside help. All the way, she is stalked and manipulated by a Fiend who wants to drag her back to the compound.
