Today's the day I get to go see my brother. I haven't seen him in four years. I heard he's in a band now. Whatever. My dads sending me to him for an "attitude adjustment." Just because I shut him out of my life. Your probably wondering why. Well my mom and dad divorced as he for remarried. My step brother and sisters make my life a living hell. They abuse me, swear at me, spit on me and even pull the nastiest pranks on me. I try telling my dad but he just laughs it off even after the countless bruises and scars I've shown him. So now i just should my self out from everyone. I skip school, self harm, and even tried drugs, but my dad found them and took them. I'm glad, I didn't like them anyway. I'm only 17 and my life is going down the drain. That's why I'm being sent to Liam. This outta be good.

Once a girl turns fifteen, her name gets put into a raffle. Once a guy turns 18, his name is also entered. The town match-maker chooses a boy and a girl and then on January 1 of each year, the new couple meets. The brides are forced to live in their new 'master's' house for twelve months. If by that time they aren't pregnant or have given birth, they are shunned from the community and some of the girls are killed. Of course, it isn't the husbands fault. Living in a sexist community where women are treated like chattel is disgusting, but more so for 14 year old feminist Jessica Lee. In a society where men rule and woman follow behind, how will Jessica survive holding her tongue through marriage and what is supposed to follow?

Sam has been through a lot in her 17 years of living. Loosing her mother to brain cancer at the age of 13, Sam is adopted by Jay Tomlinson. Yes, the mother of One Direction's Louis Tomlinson. When the lads go on tour Sam tags along with them, but things aren't as smooth as she thought they would be. With the growing urges to self harm and a new found love for a certain blond boy, how will things turn out? Will she have a successful relationship? Or will her depression finally consume her.

I am only fifteen...how could this happen to me? I am nerdy-straight 4.0 GPA, never smoked, never done drugs, never had a boyfriend, never had sex, never tasted alcohol, so why did he have to kidnap me? And how does One Direction fit into this mess?
