And All the Trees of the Field Shall Clap Their Hands

Ella Shapira

Just getting into her sixth school in four years, senior Jack Gremillon is ready to serve the rest of her high school sentence and get out of another backwater Louisiana town - for good. She never expected to fall in love here. And even more unlikely, to be fallen in love with. It's not that easy though. Rachel Kendrick is Pentecostal, and while she's falling for Jack, she's got things of her own to work through. She has to figure out how Jack is going to fit into her plans, because she suddenly can't imagine life without her. Her world has been unsteady for a while however. It's not only the shock of falling for a girl that's rocking the ground beneath her feet. Her mother wants her to marry, to be a wife and mother herself. Having grown up in a church that frowns upon higher secular education, Rachel is trying to reconcile her faith with the desire to be accepted into MIT - a desire her parents are unwilling to compromise about. It seems her world isn't as neat and unshakeable as she's always been told.

About the Author

Ella has been writing for as long as she could hold a pen, starting with Kindergarten short stories about turtles and stretching her wings from there. Now in her early thirties, she grew up as a science and science fiction/fantasy geek, as well as a - shh! - lesbian in an Apostolic Pentecostal household and church. In her first published work, she hopes to share some of her experiences with the church she left behind set in fictional form, and to give others in similar circumstances hope.
