17-year-old Becca spent her whole life protecting her brother from, well, everything. The abandonment of their father, the so called 'experts' who insist that voices in his head are unnatural and must be dealt with, and the constant threat of being taken away to some hospital and studied like an animal.
When two representatives appear claiming to have the answers
to Ryland's perceived problem, Becca doesn't buy it for one second. That is
until they seem to know things about Ryland and about Becca and Ryland's
family, that forces Becca to concede that there may be more to these
people than meets the eye.
Though still highly skeptical, Becca agrees to do
what's best for Ryland. What they find at St. Brigid's is a world beyond their
imagination. Little by little they piece together the information of their
family's heritage, their estranged Father, and the legend of the
Holder race that decrees Ryland is the one they've been waiting for.
She meets Alex, a Holder who is fiercely loyal to their
race, and for some reason, Becca and Ryland. There's an attraction between
Becca and Alex that can't be denied, but destiny gets in the way, and they are
all in for a surprise that will change what they thought they knew about
themselves and their kind forever.
THE HOLDERS is a modern day fantasy about incredible powers
and extraordinary people.
About the Author
Julianna was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and spent the
majority of her educational career convinced she would be a musician. However,
after receiving her music degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, she
realized that she'd been born in the wrong era for her dreams of singing jazz
to adoring fans clad in zoot-suits and flapper dresses to come true, and began
to wonder if her true calling might be elsewhere.
While Julianna had always excelled in writing throughout
school, she'd never considered it a career possibility until about three years
ago, when she'd gotten her first story idea and decided to go for it. She
grabbed her laptop, started typing away, and has never looked back.
Sounds like a great story!
