Faith kept her plain. Science made her complicated.
Book 1 in the Grounded Trilogy
Seventeen year old Lydia Troyer is far from concerned with science or politics. Growing up behind a concrete wall in the exiled community of Hemlock Hollow, life hasn't changed much since her Amish ancestors came to America. She milks her cow by hand, makes fresh bread every morning, and hopes to be courted by a boy she’s known since childhood.
But when Lydia's father has a stroke and is rushed to the outside world for medical treatment, Lydia poses as an Englisher and leaves Hemlock Hollow. An ordinary light switch thrusts her into a new world where energy is a coveted commodity and revelations about her personal history have life threatening consequences.

FAQ
Do I need to read book 1 again to understand Charged, book 2? How much has changed?
The second edition of Grounded is approximately 20,000 words longer and contains new details and chapters about The Green Republic and The Liberty Party. While the overall story arc is the same, the first version was written as a stand alone while the second was written as the basis of the trilogy. So, while you may understand book 2 after reading the original version of book 1, some details have changed and will not match up exactly.
When will Charged, Book 2 come out?
Charged is already available for pre-order on
Amazon,
Apple, and
Kobo. The book is complete and in the editing process. It will be released on December 22. Wired, Book 3 (final book in the trilogy) is in development with an expected release date of June 2015.
