Caroline B. Cooney Quote

Her parents kissed her on each side. Her mother took both her hands now and held them against her cheek, as if in prayer. We tried everything to get Hannah out. We took her on long vacations, we sent her to live with my cousin in Atlanta, we tried traditional church. But she went to California to join the temple commune. There was nothing we could do. The law wasn’t on our side, Hannah wasn’t on our side. The cult even had armed bodyguards to keep parents like us from snatching our children back.
