Books with author Julia Farr

First in my thought as I wrote this little book were the young people in the West, who enjoy the blessings of their religion, without realization of the persecution of their missionaries on the fighting line. Perhaps if they read my description of religious conditions in the East, they will more highly prize the truths they possess, and strive to live more worthily, that their lives may contribute to the spread of the Restored Gospel.George Eliot has said we cannot even think a good thought but that we become a power against evil. So it behooves every Latter-day Saint to live up to the very best that he or she may be a power in this great work of God's.Second in my thought were the people of the East—those with whom I have lived and worked since my birth in Brooklyn, N. Y. I wish to say to them, I hope no one of my friends will think that they are depicted in the characters of my novel.I am aware that I have offered no convincing arguments concerning the "Mormon" faith. But I hope that some of my readers may feel a distinction between the religious natures of my characters, and consequently be led to investigate the truths of "Mormonism" for themselves.My experience has been that one who desires the truth can always find it, but never within the two covers of a short work of fiction. Therefore my object has been simply to endeavor to awaken a desire for truth, which may lead the reader into deeper researches.I know that no great literary ability is shown in this little volume of mine, but I dare to put it before the world and ask every one to read it—why?—Because I have God's assurance that the weakest effort of man can do much good, if that effort is put forth for the upbuilding of His Kingdom upon earth.

Nina Oberon is back! Three years after her “death” she’s returned to Chicago, to new political and personal landscapes. Not everyone is happy she’s back from the dead. There’s a new threat in the city — a terrorist organization determined to undermine the Resistance. And Nina’s on the front lines to take it down. But she must deal with love, ghosts from the past, and a traitor in the midst before she can find the home she’s always craved.

Nina Oberon's life is pretty normal: she hangs out with her best friend, Sandy, and their crew, goes to school, plays with her little sister, Dee. But Nina is 15. And like all girls she'll receive a Governing Council-ordered tattoo on her 16th birthday. XVI. Those three letters will be branded on her wrist, announcing to all the world-even the most predatory of men-that she is ready for sex. Considered easy prey by some, portrayed by the Media as sluts who ask for attacks, becoming a "sex-teen" is Nina's worst fear. That is, until right before her birthday, when Nina's mom is brutally attacked. With her dying breaths, she reveals to Nina a shocking truth about her past-one that destroys everything Nina thought she knew. Now, alone but for her sister, Nina must try to discover who she really is, all the while staying one step ahead of her mother's killer.

An exciting dystopian thriller, and sequel to XVI Nina Oberon's life has changed enormously in the last few months.

But Nina won't be anyone's stereotype. And when she joins an organization of girls working within the Resistance, she knows that they can put an end to one of the most terrifying secret programs the GC has ever conceived. Because the truth always comes out . . . and the consequences can be deadly.
