Sorry folks, nothing sparkly. (Well, the bathroom is sparkly... again... I swear, I'm never scrubbing that room again if it only takes half a week to be ridiculously messy again. Wait, I've said that before.) As a matter of fact, outside of homework at the moment the only other component of my life is editing my novel, "Speechless."
America has reformed its education system, and now high schoolers have to go to massive boarding schools, or "Youth Education Centers." In these facilities, it is believed that Christians don't allow for anyone else to be right. It is said that Christians don't believe in anyone else having a freedom of religion, so they don't deserve that right themselves. When Christian students are separated from their parents and sent to this school with these brutal ideas and where unbiblical activities run rampant, it seems like a losing battle simply to cling to a faith that everyone tells them is foolish.
Until Jackie arrives. Her older brother Jeff, who has been there for two years now, catches her off the bus to save her Bible from the inspection, and then watches in wonder as his little sister reminds him of the passionate faith that he feels he has lost. His new roommate Matthew arrives and only brings more light into the darkened campus. They inspire the silent Christians on campus to live like they mean it, they bring the Gospel to their new friends, and they stir the stagnant waters until their safety is no longer a certainty. But when they hatch a risky plan to expose what truly happens within the fences of the Thomas Jefferson Youth Education Center, how much are they willing to lose?
