I have put together some reading goals for this year and I wanted to share them with you as a way to hold myself accountable. It’s 2050, a decade after a heatwave that killed four hundred million across the Persian Gulf, including journalist Marcus Tully’s wife. Show me all the abused and downtrodden women she’s helped at her shelters who are giving back because of her example.

Divine challenges societies expectations of powerless young adults in the event of corruption in a totalitarian state. The book does continue on to tell a very detailed and graphic story about a couple girls and how they came to and overcame a plethora of abusive situations ranging from Child Prostitution, Sexual slavery, and severe domestic violence.The stakes are high, with her life, and her family’s hanging in the balance, Electa must win the tortured Prince’s heart whilst navigating her own.

In the decade since then, she’s earned a doctorate degree in family counseling and has opened several women’s shelters in the D.

She went through a rebellious stage as a teenager, getting mixed up in drugs and sex, eventually ending up living with a man who has severely abused her. Also, I’m 90% sure that I read somewhere that the author claimed this book/series was ‘enemies to lovers’. Her brother has gone missing on the front lines of a war brought on by gods, while her mother struggles with addiction.For years I steered clear of Christian fiction for all the reasons proven by this book: cheesy analogies, "overnight" conversions, and over-the-top religious conversation.
