About the Author:
Jane has a Humanities degree from Brigham Young University with emphases in Art History, Italian Language, and Studio Art. She's CRAZY about the visual and performing arts! Jane enjoys playing classical piano, painting & sketching, singing & acting, and especially writing poetry & prose. But her real passion is PEOPLE. She love to watch and study what makes us tick as human beings. Definitely a dreamer, her favorite thing to do is weave together sublime settings and stories for characters to live and learn in...herself included. Jane currently live in an enchanted fairy-princess castle in Dallas, Texas, with her three often-adorable children and their three seldom-adorable cats.
Review:
"Wow. Seriously. WOW!!!! It's not often you get a book that's an exciting, well-paced read but also full of powerful emotions and deeper meaning than you see at first on the page. RIVEN is such a book. I completely fell in love with Emily. She became so real to me. I was swept away by the darkness and magic of her story. There are so many layers to uncover in RIVEN. I highly recommend this book to all readers."
- James Dashner, Author of The Maze Runner series and The Mortality Doctrine Series.
”Harris' debut is a tapestry woven of deeply personal experience and Breath-taking fantasy. Readers will be swept away by her world building, and moved by Emily's gripping journey."
- Michael Buckley, Author of the Undertow Trilogy
"The confusion of adolescence is captured in hi-fi, and the seams of
identity are exposed in all of their ragged beauty.
Jane Alvey Harris’s *Riven* traces a critical juncture in a teen’s mental
health. When an elaborate fantasy threatens to take over her life, she
learns to transform her fear into courage and self-acceptance. A deftly
constructed, hyper-real world reveals the effects of extreme pressure on a
family torn by abuse." - *Foreword* Clarion Reviews
