Tarry This Night - Paperback

by Kristyn Dunnion (Author)

In this dystopian, eerily relevant novel, a civil war is brewing in America. Below ground, a cult led by the deluded and narcissistic Father Ernst is ensconced in an underground bunker, waiting out the conflict. When "The Family" runs out of food, Ruth, coming of age and terrified of serving as Ernst's next wife, must choose between obeying her faith and fighting for survival. In this unsettling modern Lilith tale, spirited women resist their violent, racist culture and, in so doing, become outlaws.

Kristyn Dunnion's previous novel The Dirt Chronicles was a Lambda Literary Award finalist for lesbian fiction.
