Love and Logic

Raised on the upper east side of Manhattan, Audrina Rose wanted for nothing. Her striking mother had married for money, and she had all of her mother's looks and her father's intelligence. As she rose in popularity and intellectual rank among her peers at prep school, she appeared to have the world at her fingertips. But Audrina, having been torn from every nursemaid and nanny she had ever had, struggled to connect with the other girls, and buried her head in romance novels, and felt herself superior to her petty peers. Audrina had one friend, Georgie, whose heart she had only because Georgie was the kind of girl who couldn't bear to see another girl eat lunch alone. When Georgie invited Audrina to spend her summer in Iowa, Audrina enters into life with a family who had just experienced a recent tragedy. Under the command of the oldest brother, John, the family runs rather smoothly. But Audrina cannot seem to understand or comply with John's authoritative, commanding presence in the household, and she balks at it. Aside from John, Audrina believes her life with the Museman family is as it should be. It is what she has always longed for, but never knew she was missing. When the end of the summer comes, and she is torn from them, she is unsure how to cope with the life she once knew so well. She feels empty and alone apart from them. Even more confusing, are the thoughts and feelings surging within her. She sets her mind to move on with her life, to never return to the place where her heart would only be broken. But she is drawn back to Iowa as if it was her own, and when she finally sets her mind to ask for the one things she wants more than all, powers beyond her control set the world in a panic, and changed the course of her life forever.
