The Girl Behind The Red Rope
by Ted Dekker & Rachelle Dekker
| -From Goodreads- Ten years ago, Grace saw something that would forever change the course of history. When evil in its purest form is unleashed on the world, she and others from their religious community are already hidden deep in the hills of Tennessee, abiding by every rule that will keep them safe, pure--and alive. As long as they stay there, behind the red perimeter. Her older brother's questions and the arrival of the first outsiders she's seen in a decade set in motion events that will question everything Grace has built her life on. Enemies rise on all sides--but who is the real enemy? And what will it cost her to uncover the truth? For the first time, bestselling authors Ted Dekker and Rachelle Dekker team up and deliver an intense, tightly focused ride through the most treacherous world of all. ISBN-13: 9780800736538 What is real...and what isn't??? So, it's been a long time since I've read a Ted Dekker book, a really long time, but the title of this one, The Girl Behind The Red Rope, really caught my eye as did the fact that he co-authored it with his daughter, Rachelle Dekker. I haven't read any of her books as of yet but I was curious to find out how well the two would mesh. They did. Seamlessly. |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

If you've ever read a Ted Dekker book you'll know that he's the king of creepy in the Christian fiction world and from The Girl Behind The Red Rope it's easy to see that Rachelle Dekker is following in her dad's footsteps. Trust me, this tale of one girl and her family trapped in a cult and controlled by fear is definitely up there on the weirdness scale.
I know that this book has some allegory to it but I have to confess that I've never really 'gotten' allegory. So, other than saying that a main theme in the book is breaking free of our fears, especially from religious driven fear, well, I'm afraid that anything after that missed me.
I can tell you, however, that The Girl Behind The Red Rope is a riveting tale. Hard to put down, I finished it in record time for a Dekker book. Ted Dekker and Rachelle Dekker have a winning combination together and I sincerely hope to see more collaborations from them in the future...
