Oil & BoneThis is the beginning of a first draft of my young adult story, with a work-in-progress title.
"When Ciana Valastro leaves her home in Italy with the promise of opportunity in the industrious New York City, she expects to find the bustling boroughs bursting with riches. Instead she's greeted with a city ravaged by an economic depression that has gripped the world over. With her plans of making money in Manhattan all but ruined, Ciana spends the next two years moving from job to job and struggling to make ends meet until a close friend reveals a dangerous secret--a secret that just might be the answer she's been looking for. Suddenly Ciana is thrown into a strange new world she never imagined existed, where humans who can bend the elements--and each other--is only the beginning." |
