Five months later, she's a widow in a strange new world.</strong></p><p>Ada was born into a fringe religious sect named for her father, The Prophet. But her lifelong habit of absolute obedience was shattered when she fled the family compound to elope with photographer Julian Goetz.</p><p>Katherine Walker's marriage was a sham. She and Will rarely spoke without yelling--and never touched. Her affair brings her both escape and guilt.</p><p>When a tragic plane crash takes Julian from Ada and exacerbates Katherine's sense of shame, both women become desperately unsure of where they belong in the world--until the devotion of an artistic young boy conspires to bring them together.</p><p>From award-winning novelist Christa Parrish, <em>Still Life </em>is a cunningly complex work that captures themes of abusive religion, supernatural love, and merciful escape.
