Frances' mother always seemed to be looking for something.  She changed religions like most people changed socks.  She even stopped making Frances and her younger brother to go to church since she was afraid that they would get confused.  Frances is not too surprised when her mother announces that they will be going to a religious retreat for the summer.  But Frances has other plans.  Plans that include her best friend and summer camp.  She is able to persuade her mother to let her stay with Aunt Blue -- a woman who is a bit of a mystery to Frances even though she sees her every Sunday.  As the summer goes on, Frances begins to fear that her mother and brother have joined a cult and will not be returning.  How can she rescue her brother before it's too late?
