Away from home for the first time, Xania Ellman found herself remembering the words of her older sister Evane (Eva): “Your first day away from home will feel extremely strange.” This memory is the catalyst as Xania begins to narrate events that forever change the dynamics of their Christian family. At the Ellman house, sex before marriage is a declaration of independence but daddy’s girl has found her love in Andrew Cross. Seventeen-year-old headstrong Eva is pregnant and hoping her parents will show God’s mercy and let her stay. Her parents, Xavier and Sienna, do not budge from their “house rule.” Eva’s commitment to Andrew is tested and she does not realize the fallacy of her judgment until her life is threatened. This journey of enlightenment returns her heart to God.

For the first time, living legends and popular heroes tell teens how they survived their adolescence When they were 11 and 14, respectively, brothers Robert and William Hatch embarked on an ambitious project: to discover how many of their heroes dealt with the challenges of early adolescence. The result is The Hero Project, a fascinating collection of interviews with some of the most prominent names in sports, science, politics, entertainment, the arts, and religion. From dealing with bullies to overcoming health problems, feeling lonely and different to growing up in a broken home, what they thought of the world around them to their own heroes and role models, these luminaries share their candid recollections of life as a teen and offer young readers advice on how to grow up to be heroes themselves. In addition to the interviews, each chapter contains a brief biography of the selected interviewee, along with the fascinating back story of how the brothers made contact with the hero in question. Heroes of The Hero Project: Pete Seeger, Madeleine L’Engle, Florence Griffith Joyner, Jimmy Carter,Orson Scott Card,Yo Yo Ma, Elouise Cobell, Carroll Spinney, Desmond Tutu, Lance Armstrong and Linda Kelly Armstrong, Steven Wozniak, Dolores Huerta, and Jackie Chan
