Ever since her parents divorced, 13 year-old Clarissa feels like she has no choice over her life.
Living in a life full of heartache and sadness, she starts to feel like she must give in to the horrid world around her; one filled with temptations and pressure.
Clarissa finds herself wanting a saviour, a slice of hope. And although she knows that her mother has found one that is good and merciful, she doesn't want to trust Him. Who is that good and doesn't ask for anything in return?
It might seem like all hope is lost for Clarissa, but she can still find hope, love and a real home if only she is willing to accept it.
It's up to her:
Will she give in to the world around her and accept that that's her home and her place? Or will she look beyond what this place has to offer and learn to trust in a being that she doesn't even see and hope that her home is where He is?

Until The Whole World Hears?
It's not safe out there it'll never be. Every day is a fight to do the right thing. God has given us his laws, history, answers, and the truth. You know what I'm talking about. We call it the bible. I don't know what you believe in, and I'm not going to try to convince you... But who am I kidding. Most of you will either stop reading this book and never look at it again, and very few of you will continue. Some of you will read this to get answers, and some of you will take this information and twist my words against me, for those people... I will make myself VERY clear. I believe that God is real, I believe in his word, and that is why I am a Christian. (There is nothing to get that confused with.) To clear things up even more, I have a relationship with a real God, not some mythical creature made up in my head. Just because I am a Christian doesn't mean I am perfect, I make mistakes and I ask God for forgiveness and just because I am a Christian doesn't mean you should treat me any less. But who are you kidding, you'll do that anyway. © All Rights ReservedComplete

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.
