Diving into a new world of characters and experiences, Escape thrusts the readers into a journey marked with shocking surprise, shattering defeat and unconditional acceptance. The biggest obstacles in life are the ones we never see coming and the ones we cannot escape from. Tara Porter is an astute seventeen-year-old girl who is concerned with the simple things in life: school, her best friend Bella and her high school crush, Joel. Stepping out of her comfort zone and on the cusp of having everything she's ever dreamed about with Joel, her life is suddenly turned upside down with no warning. Forced to leave everything - and everyone - that she's ever cared about, Tara is faced with the reality of having no control over her situation. She is determined to return to those that were ripped away from her and nothing will stop her. A chance meeting with bubbly blonde Jessica and her magnetic step-brother Scott throws Tara into a different kind of tailspin. Soon Tara realizes that destiny has other plans for her and that her own assured plan to escape may not be what she wanted after all.
