2017- This marks my 4th time reading this book. For the new reader I must emphasize that these books mature as you read. They start off seeming like cheesy teenage fiction on a cringe worthy level, but they evolve into a truly grand, wonderful and epic story of the coming of age, and the realization of remarkable heritage.

A plain unassuming wallflower finds she is anything but ordinary. In fact, she is extraordinary! As she follows a path seeming destined, her heart follows that of one she thinks beyond its reach. Lying within this likewise unassuming YA novel is a true gem, wrought with heartache and heartbreak. Will a straining friendship collapse amid the pressure of it all, leaving a bitterness in its wake. For Morgan Rowlands, she must suffer trials of family and friend alike to reach a crossroads long destined for and to choose a path which seems contrary to her upbringing.

Ignore the awful reviews. This series is a gem among the vast heaps of horrid YA novels out there. Once you've devoured book one, and begun the second, there'll be no stopping you!!
