My Review:

Robin's life hasn't been the easiest, raised by an alcoholic father after her mother disappeared from her life. Robin's in for some surprises as she finds out who she really is and where her family comes from.

Only problem is, Robin puts others in danger while trying to help someone she loves very much, and now she must risk her life to make things right. Along with a group of men who are given guardianship over her and help her, she goes on an incredible journey that is one of self-discovery as much as setting right the things she put in jeopardy.

The story has a lot of neat places to explore and was quite the interesting read. More for teen readers or those who enjoy teen books, it was a little younger in tone than my normal picks. However, I really did enjoy the fantasy elements. I also thought it had a good moral or message as far as following rules and the consequences of disobeying laws/rules. 

If this sounds like the genre of book you'd like, pick it up for some nice weekend reading. Have a great one!

Author: Jennifer Donohoe

Genre: Contemporary Fantasy

Synopsis: Robin Sullivan is given a magical book where she can experience a better life in a new world called Tearmann.

Robin must choose between deserting her real life or living in a world promising a better one. Events come into play forcing Robin to make a decision.

Note from the author concerning Fly Away: Fly Away is the mixture of Dante's Inferno meets The Neverending Story. Robin is a normal teen raised in an unpredictable situation which catapults into a lesson of facing your demons and not running away, or this case flying away. I hope you enjoy the story.

About The Author: Jennifer Donohoe grew up in Northeast Ohio until she moved away at the age of 23 to the panhandle of Florida. She stayed there for 14 years and after completing her masters degree at Troy University for Mental Health Counseling she moved back home to her beloved state of Ohio where she now works as a Clinical Therapist with Felony Juvenile Offenders.

Her passion for never wanting a life to be wasted has amassed itself into her writing. Writing Fantasy has allowed Ms. Donohoe to add elements of morals, values, and taking responsibility for ones choices into her stories. Her other love is photography where she uses the photos as a means of helping describe certain scenes or as inspirations for a story itself.
