Torn Away
Torn Away | Jennifer Brown
5 posts | 12 read | 8 to read
Jersey Cameron has always loved a good storm. Watching the clouds roll in and the wind pick up. Smelling the electricity in the air. Dancing barefoot in the rain. She lives in the Midwest, after all, where the weather is sure to keep you guessing. Jersey knows what to do when the tornado sirens sound. But she never could have prepared for this. When her town is devastated by a tornado, Jersey loses everything. As she struggles to overcome her grief, she's sent to live with relatives she hardly knows -- family who might as well be strangers. In an unfamiliar place, can Jersey discover that even on the darkest of days, there are some things no tornado can destroy? In this powerful and poignant novel, acclaimed author Jennifer Brown delivers a story of love, loss, hope, and survival.

I got my own book back after a year of it traveling to each of the members of our #CovertoCover group! I loved reading all of the notes in the book and the journal with a delicious cup of tea. 📖 ☕️ (Thanks, Annie; I‘m looking forward to trying the different varieties!)

Jennifer Brown has a way with the details .. and she shows yet again in Torn Away that these details make for an amazing and heart-breaking story! There are many parts of this book that i will add to my quote book!

Recommend for anyone for who needs a reminder that there will always be someone who may have it worse .. and even they can see the bright side :)

Family had nothing to do with blood. It had everything to do with what was in your heart.

My Christmas book haul from my wonderful family! I actually got 2 copies of Pioneer Girl and there's also a bookstore gift card! Most of the rest of these are books I've read but don't own and requested from my family to add to my class library. Torn Away is a great contemporary YA about the consequences of a midwestern tornado by a Missouri author.

BookishMarginalia Fabulous #bookhaul! 💜👍🏼 7y
