Growing Up Nowhere

Growing Up Nowhere is a fictional religiously inspired story about a young man by the name of Daniel who grew up in a very unusual orphanage located nowhere. His twin sister Martha left the orphanage more than a year ago, as all of the children from the orphanage do at some point, never to return. Daniel spent the last year getting ready to follow in her footsteps under the guidance of Michael, his mentor and the closest thing to a father he has ever had. He does not know exactly where he needs to go or what he will find there, but he knows that the journey will provide all the answers he has been looking for his entire life: who he really is, what happened to his parents, why he was forced to grow up in that unusual place in the middle of nowhere, and finally, what is the meaning of a life. This novel is a story of faith, family, time, mistakes, and most of all forgiveness. It gives a voice to those who do not have it and tries to provide an insight into the other side of an important debate; the one on abortion.
