NEW YORK—May 20, 2016—Morgan James’s new release, Stranded at Romson’s Lodge by J.L. Callison, discloses an examination of what should happen if two Christian teens were to be stranded with no one else around to see the choices that the pair makes.

Christian teens can intensely experience the peer pressure to go along with what the popular media portrays as the norm. Teen speaker J.L. Callison’s novel encourages young people not to succumb to the norm, but to live true to their moral values using the stories of two high school seniors who are kidnapped, stranded, and must learn to survive on their own.

By leaving a lonesome guy and homesick girl with no choice but to learn how to survive on their own, Stranded sets aside zombies, vampires, and magic to revisit an outdoor adventure scene that has been neglected for some time now. Callison not only examines the struggles of the two isolated teens, but also looks at the ways in which their parents and the detective in charge are able to handle the loss and emotional stress.

While most coming of age stories involve a significant loss of innocence as their key component, Stranded features a coming of age story that promotes the maintenance of strong moral beliefs. Callison’s story appeals to teens of both sexes, as well as the adults seeking a romantic thriller, with practical lessons about the outdoors and wildlife in addition to enthralling romantic toils.

NEW YORK—May 17, 2016–Morgan James Fictions’s new release, Saving Jane Doe by Carolyn Purcell, highlights the emotional struggles of women who have had abortions while weaving in themes of love and forgiveness.    

Saving Jane Doe is the heart wrenching story of a young woman who obtains an illegal abortion, and the spiral of negative consequences that she experiences as a result. From dangerous health complications to broken relationships, Jane has to fight to put her life and family back together, all while dealing with the burden of her own guilt.

Told from the perspective of Jane’s doctor, Cara Land, Saving Jane Doe is not a story of despair, but rather of overcoming and personal redemption. Cara helps Jane find a job and offers her friendship when she needs it the most. As Jane mends her relationships with her children and seeks forgiveness and grace, readers will feel a deep emotional connection to the main characters. Since millions of women have undergone an abortion and faced the same struggles, Jane is a highly relatable character that will draw readers into the story and show that this important issue is not always black and white.

While painting a very personal narrative, Purcell also draws attention to both the legal and moral arguments surrounding abortion, while opening the door to informed conversation on a highly sensitive, highly important subject. Through Saving Jane Doe, she calls for a renewed mindset and an increased sexual responsibility in women of all ages. In thoroughly examining a topic that has affected so many both personally and politically, Saving Jane Doe is sure to resonate with all readers.
