They live in a repurposed church, newly baptised Dollar Voss: the once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father has remarried the mother's former nurse, the youngest sibling isn't allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings appear irritatingly perfect. Then there's Merit, who collects trophies she hasn't earned and carries secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing a local antiques shop for her next "prize," Merit meets Sagan, whose wit and idealism spark something new in her — until she discovers he's completely unavailable. As Merit retreats further into herself, she stumbles on a secret no trophy can fix, and decides to shatter the illusion of a happy family she was never truly part of. When her escape plan fails, she must face the consequences of telling the truth, and of losing the one person she loves. Poignant and quietly devastating, Without Merit explores the lies that hold a family together, and the truth it takes to set them free, touching on mental health, identity and belonging.. Key Benefits:. A standalone, emotionally rich novel from a globally bestselling author — no series commitment required..
