All my life, I've been told that I was born to shine. And I believed it. But now, I'm not so sure. What am I to do when I'm lonely? I don't even know what's real and what's not anymore. How will I be myself when the world doesn't accept who I want to be? How will I bear the expectations of all these people, when I can barely bear my own? God only knows. That's the one thing I'm sure of. He knows what I need and, with Him in my life, I'm never alone. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Nerissa James has lived a sheltered life for as long as she can remember; loving parents, a sister whom she'd die for, best friends who she trusts more than herself and above all, God, her shining light in every moment. She couldn't ask for a better life. But when a change she's ready to accept breaks her sheltered life, everything she thought to be real, turns out to be fake. Wherever she went, pride, ego and jealousy has overtaken the society. In order to be accepted in the world she stepped into, Nerissa has to hide who she really is, from her society, so-called friends, and even God. Just as she begins to think there's no going back to her old self, a message from her sister along with a song changes her life, making her realize how much she's changed. With God as her guide and with music as her companion; Nerissa sets out to change the views of her society, one step at a time, by being her true self, whether the world accepts her or not. ranked #1 in Christian Literature on 06/03/20 *currently on hold*

Aiden is searching without really knowing what he's looking for, but gets closer with every step. Emma is hurt and hides a dark secret from everyone, but wonders if she's found someone she can tell. Daniel is lost and regrets his past mistakes, but wants to mend what's broken. Cleo is confused, but her heart is holding onto what it knows: Jesus. A story of four worlds and four hearts colliding, of four teenagers learning how to truly live. A mystery, a secret, a longing, a decision. Innumerable questions. One almighty God with one big, unprecedented plan. Sometimes bad things happen so that good things can happen, and to everything there is a season.

During a routine security patrol in the Underground, Flit stumbles across a Registered Derivate whose team underestimated the dangers of the dank underground tunnels. She brings the Registered Derivate, KC-847, back to the Underground and he is given a new chance to live a life free of the Government's control. But just as he is settling in, a dangerous mystery threatens the very foundations of his new life. Flit, never one to let a hunch go, drags him along on an investigation that will change the trajectory of Derivate-kind forever... *Thanks for @AuthorClarke for the awesome cover*

No sound from humans, no sounds from technology, no sound from nature. The whole world is silent... Why? ◆ ◆ ◆ Imagine you wake one morning and find that everyone in your house is still asleep, and won't wake up. Only it's not just your house; it's the whole world. You then decided to hop online and see if anyone else is awake. You send out a post, titled "Anyone Else Awake?" Within five minutes it has three comments. Well, this is reality for Haileè Aitken.

Jeanette Arthur had no idea what was going to happen to her when they opened the doors. Was she going to die? Or would she wish she was dead? She began to think that this kind of thing didn't happen to people like her, but she realized how wrong she was. This became her story's end the night she picked up those drinks. When she let herself step into that building, when she accepted that job and put on those clothes. They had made her believe she was important. Special. Worth loving. She had thought all these people wanted her, but they only wanted the lie she was selling. She knew this was no longer pretend. She was no longer in control, and she was no longer the one selling herself. She wanted someone to rewrite her story. So for the first time in her life, she raised up her hands, and she started to pray.
