Product Description
It was opposite this time; we weren't behaving on a dare. we knew a motive; we were practicing a act, anticipating to stir a right child when it came time. But afterwards something happened in a brew of a moment, in a brew of a alcohol. It wasn't planned, though somehow a kissing examination incited into something else. Things went serve . . . and once they had, once we returned to earth from a euphoria . . . we wrestled with my feelings during that straightforward realization, doubt either a pronounced design was wholly true.
When fourteen-year aged Krista McKinley transfers from Catholic propagandize in Ohio to California's open Crestmount High, she discovers she has a lot to learn. Luckily, she is befriended by Carrie and Brandon and things start to demeanour up. But when a elementary brave tests Krista's values, it sends her whole universe spiraling into a treacherous array of events that leaves her doubt her temperament as good as a people around her.

REVIEWS:
A radical change in sourroundings changes one's world. Torn is a story of Krista McKinley, a Catholic propagandize tyro who is sent to a open high propagandize by her family. As she finds new friends, her universe and her values will still be roughly tested. Torn is an intriguing entrance of age story that many teenagers will describe to. ----Midwest Book Review
One of a many formidable durations in a person's life is spent in high school, and TORN, by a glorious impression portrayals strengthen only how formidable those few years can be. As a new student, Krista McKinley is deluged with easy opportunities to examination with alcohol, drugs and sex. This fourteen year aged protagonist faces them conduct on and creates adult decisions most progressing than she should have to. She emerges meaningful a lot some-more than she did in a beginning: that being loyal to be loyal to yourself might not greatfully all of a people all of a time. we was reminded of a TV array My So Called Life, that was a large hit, as we entirely design this book to be. ----E. Elkinson, Wise Owl Book Review
