From Western Desert an #AuthorQuote

Author quote from WESTERN DESERT, by PJ Sharon:
 
Maybe that was the point all along. Just because I had the power to heal, it didn’t mean I could control other people’s destinies—especially since I hadn’t even figured out my own.
 

This quote from my protagonist Lily in WESTERN DESERT, sums up her dilemma throughout this second book in the dystopian trilogy, the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael. A genetically enhanced teen with the power of healing in her touch, she struggles with her desire to heal others and her need to keep her gift secret from the Industry, a rogue government subsidiary that would like nothing better than to capture her and exploit her abilities. To make matters worse, Lily is driven by her promise to save her brother, Zeph. Not only from the Industry, but from himself and his dangerous ability to take life with just a touch. Lily is repeatedly reminded of her limitations throughout the story and is often frustrated with her own lack of control and the consequences of her impulsive and sometimes reckless choices. Will she ever come to realize that people have to wantto be healed? And that imposing her will on others makes her no different from the people she is trying so desperately to escape? Will she overcome her innate refusal to take life when necessary to survive? Or will she risk the people closest to her in order to stand by her principles? WESTERN DESERT (book two in the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael trilogy)
