Path of Redemption

The Revolution Series Book 2

by Heather Kreke

Genre: YA Christian Dystopian

In the last year, Jadzia Mills has survived war, the death of her best friend, being almost beaten to death, and a cross-country journey to reunite with her family.
Now she’s being hunted by the military she abandoned. When almost captured, she faces a choice: continue to run or surrender and face a court-martial with an unknown sentence. To protect her family, she surrenders and is sentenced to a long prison term.
In prison she must face vicious inmates, brutal guards, and unending hours of loneliness, all while dealing with the horrors of her past.
Thanks to a favor from a sympathetic sergeant, Jadzia is released early. But the world she knew has changed. A divide between believers and nonbelievers is forming, and she must choose where she belongs.
With her family. Or the boy she loves?

GUEST POST

I am not a morning person, at all. So coffee is usually the first thing I’m after in the morning.

After I’m caffeinated, I help my husband get three kids off to school.

Once the children are gone, I sit down at my computer and start working on the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writer’s Conference blog. I’ve been their blog manager for the past three years, and I coordinate with the contributing authors, schedule the posts, and create images for the posts.

After I’m finished with the blog, I check my emails and answer anything that needs a response, then I move on to my social media, scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, posting for the day.

After social media posts are handled, I check in with my other two Musketeers from the Blue Ridge Readers Connection, an origination that connects readers and writers. We talk plans and responsibilities for the week. If it’s my week to man the inbox, I take care of anything that needs attention.

My next task is to edit, brainstorm, or offer resources to other writers who need help or looking to improve their craft.

Once that’s over, I get to work on my own stuff. This usually involves staring at a blank screen wondering what the heck I’m doing.

Okay, I can’t write this with a straight face anymore.

These are the things I do in a typical day, but it is nowhere near this organized or purposeful. I wish I was this put together, but usually I start doing something, and the washer finishes. By the time I switch the laundry, I completely forget what I was doing. I start something else, get a text, and three hours later I wonder why I’m on Facebook looking at cats. Then a deadline creeps up, and I do six hours’ worth of work in about thirty minutes.

All in all, my writing day is insane, and full of interruptions, but somehow it works

World War III has erupted on American soil. Seventeen-year-old Jadzia’s life will never be the same again.

As a mandatory draft takes effect, Jadzia finds herself on the front lines of the war, torn apart from her family. But when her best friend is killed, Jadzia is desperate to find her way back to them. She abandons her platoon and sets out on her own.

Jadzia must navigate a dangerous cross-country journey, facing betrayal, violence, and the constant threat of death. Along the way, she meets Ryker–the son of a faith leader whose places of worship have been attacked. Despite the chaos, Jadzia finds refuge and friendship among Ryker’s unlikely group of individuals … even though their faith is a little old-fashioned. And Ryker's insistence on helping her doesn't make it easier for Jadzia to resist her growing feelings toward him.

But the military is determined to capture Jadzia and all outlaws. When survival seems impossible, will sacrifice be their only route to freedom?

This action-packed YA dystopian novel is perfect for fans of The Out of Time Series and The Gifting Series.
