TORN, TORN

Two strangers embark on a secret road trip-a pregnant girl from Texas with no options and a grieving husband with an agenda, his GPS set for North Carolina. Will their journey lead to everything they've both prayed for? Being a girl of limited means on the cusp of adulthood is never easy. It's even harder when you're left without a choice to navigate the course of your own life. Orphaned at fifteen, now almost-eighteen Merilee Stillwater finds herself pregnant and so frighteningly ill that she cannot attend school. Worse, she lives in a state where a woman's right to choose is not an option. Hopeless and bound to the morals of her foster parents, Merilee is given a miracle-a choice. A ride out of Texas will end her misery and change her destiny if she can find the courage to risk it. TORN is the riveting tale of one girl's struggle to work through what it means to become an adult and take charge of her life.
