Barlow

The Zook family is notoriously secretive.

Norman, the religious fanatic patriarch, has taken great pains over the years to keep his submissive wife and nine kids hidden away from the world on their farm in the rural town of Barlow, Oklahoma. The children, only allowed to go to school for a few years each, are tasked with making the farm run despite the lack of electricity and running water.

But when the two older Zook daughters mysteriously disappear, sheriff's deputy Paul Macon is tasked with finding answers. As his search for the missing girls takes him deeper into the secrets of a rural community, a continuous string of mysterious tragedies increases the pressure on Macon to find the girls...and fast.

As tensions come to a head, can Macon unravel the intricate threads of the dysfunctional Zook family and uncover the truth behind the disappearances before it's too late? Or must some secrets go to the grave?

A dramatic tale of love, control, and mental illness, Barlow will keep readers guessing until the very end.
