Torn Away
“Torn Away is vivid and emotional as Jersey comes to terms with her grief, new life, and new knowledge.”
VOYA (starred review)
Born and raised in the Midwest, Jersey Cameron knows all about tornadoes—or so she thinks. When her town is devastated by a twister, Jersey survives but loses her mother, her young sister, and her home. As she struggles to overcome her grief, she’s sent to live with her only surviving relatives: first her biological father, then her estranged grandparents.
In an unfamiliar place, Jersey faces a reality she’s never considered before—one in which her mother wasn’t perfect and neither were her grandparents, but they all loved her just the same. Together, they create a new definition of family. And that’s something no tornado can touch.
