Publisher Description
“Her name was Gabriella Deare, and she was from North Carolina. There are some things that go to you.”
Jane Doe.
It was all Della ever knew of her mother.
No family to tie her to.
No identification.
Then, on her eighteenth birthday, Della’s life was flipped upside down by one thin, manila folder. Growing up in the foster system, she never really had anything to call her own, not even a last name revealing any real association to anyone. Now, the truth was exposed, but there was still so much she didn’t know.
Hoping to learn more about the mother she never knew, and maybe discover a bit more about herself along the way, Della travels across the country seeking answers—and finds far more than she bargained for.
An unimaginable world—one on the brink of war—is pulling her in, and making her claim a birthright she never knew she wanted.
There’s a storm brewing on the horizon, and as the pressure builds, it will take everything Della has not to drown in a destiny she didn’t choose.

A GREAT READ
The central character has just survived growing up in social care. The world is an empty,threatening place for her, yet her eighteenth birthday brings surprises that whirl her into an amazing new life. I am sure that you will enjoy this well-written tale.
Great find
Such a great find - was just flicking through iBooks and came across this one. Even though I didn’t give it a lot of thought, the book actually turned out to be very good! An easy read, with a relatable yet different protagonist; I actually finished the book in 3 (long) sittings :)
