She was amiss - out of place - and, coincidentally, also out of time.
Her mother used to say, 'Everything happens for a reason'. But Jen was struggling to find a plausible reason why the universe would pluck her out of the comfortable 21st Century and discard her in 17th Century France; a million miles away from home.
As returning to her own time grows evermore unlikely and she's pinched herself enough times to make certain of her reality, Jen must learn to adapt to her new surroundings and do what at first seemed impossible: survive.
But as women's rights are seemingly non-existent - the only "jobs" available being that of wife, barmaid, servant or whore - Jen is more inclined towards the more unsavoury tactics of survival.

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.Complete

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
