If they won\u2019t do anything to help end this epidemic of violence, she will. Believing it\u2019s her destiny, she sets out to awaken the world to the cowards these men are and commits her own shocking act of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">Going by the name Lilith\u2014the first wife of Adam who fled Eden rather than serve a man\u2014she posts a video of her crime that reverberates throughout society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">Praised by some, demonized by others, and hunted by the FBI and vigilantes alike, Elisabeth must keep her identity a secret as she tries to care for her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">As events take startling twists, Elisabeth begins to question her act of violence and the very roots and mythology of violence itself. Was her act justified, or has she become the monster that the original Lilith was accused of being?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">As the FBI draws closer and Lydan starts to display odd, terrifying behavior, Elisabeth plots to avoid capture and keep her son safe at all costs, fearing she\u2019ll never escape what she\u2019s done without losing her son forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">Written with Rickstad\u2019s singular command of language, human insight, and unnerving suspense, Lilith is a tale of our times. Tragic and profound, it echoes in the mind and lingers in the blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">Source: Publisher<br>ISBN-13: 9781094000749<br>Publisher: Blackstone Publishing<br>Publication date: 03\/19\/2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#e3970b17\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo-150x150.png\" alt=\"LitStack\" class=\"wp-image-59772\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"eafl-link-block\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-eafl-id=\"61834\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-html\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><script\n      src=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/widgets.js\"\n      data-type=\"featured\"\n      data-full-info=\"true\"\n      data-affiliate-id=\"92825\"\n      data-sku=\"9781094000749\"><\/script><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo-150x150.png\" alt=\"LitStack\" class=\"wp-image-59772\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.litstack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Clear-Background-LS-Logo.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-background\" id=\"praise-for-lilith\" style=\"background-color:#fcb9004f\">Praise for <em>Lilith<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c233\">&#8220;Lilith is a visceral gut punch of a tale, a blistering and bracing story layered with emotional resonance and a deep understanding of the human condition.
