Crafting for sinners : a novel / Jenny Kiefer.
"Ruth is trapped. She's stuck in her small, religious hometown of Kill Devil, Kentucky, stuck in the closet, and stuck living paycheck to paycheck. After her manager finds out that she lives with her girlfriend, Ruth is fired from her job as a cashier at New Creations -- a craft store owned by the church that dominates life in the town. In an act of revenge, Ruth attempts to shoplift some yarn but is caught red-handed by a New Creations cashier. Instead of calling the police, the employees lock her in the store -- and attack her. When Ruth is forced to stab out one of their eyes with a knitting needle, she realizes she's facing far bigger trouble than a simple shoplifting charge. As Ruth fights for her life, she plunges deeper into the tangled web of the New Creationists, who are hiding a terrible secret that threatens not only her, but the entire town." -- Provided by publisher.
"When Ruth is caught shoplifting from the megachurch-owned craft store in her small hometown, she is locked in and attacked by employees who seem to have a secret and sinister plan for her"-- Provided by publisher.
