WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

A powerful story of two teens searching: one for their place in the world, the other for a reason to survive.

After her mother’s sudden death, artistically gifted Megan lost her will to draw as she watched her family crumble. When her father unexpectedly moves what’s left of them halfway across the country to mend, Megan must try, yet again, to rise from the ashes and create a new existence for herself. She’s intrigued when she sees Shawn—a secluded classmate who sparks unexpected drawing inspiration.

Shawn is protecting a terrible secret and teeters on the edge of letting go. With each layer Megan strips from him, she gets hints about how broken he is. If Shawn is brave enough to open up, Megan might be his undoing—which could save his life. But when Megan learns his darkest secret, will she be able to convince him life is still worth living?

Through a heart-wrenching journey that immerses Megan’s entire family in the dangerous and unthinkable world Shawn lives in, Megan succumbs to certain truths about life:

Nothing happens by accident.
We are exactly where we’re meant to be.
We all really are here for a reason.

Reality is rarely subtle.

Touch depicts abuses that may be difficult for some listeners and is recommended for a mature audience.

Very heavy story

It was a very heavy story and I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up a bit too late listening to this book because I wanted to keep reading.

Sweet coming of age novel

Loved this book! The protagonist is written playful, funny and kind and the narration of her inner thoughts draws you in quickly. Really great coming of age read. I would recommend for anyone who is 15 or older. There are references to mature content but it’s presented well and it’s quick. Can’t wait for a sequel!
