Shattered Depiction

A couple faces the toughest battle of their lives in Roxanne Jajo's poignant new young-adult novel, "Shattered Depiction."

The attraction between Aria and Nathan is undeniable.

But things get tricky when the two have to begin their romance under cover of secrecy due to the circumstances of how they met.

Despite the rocky start, the young couple are madly in love. Even when Aria finds herself pregnant and unsure about their future, Nathan's enthusiasm convinces her to give motherhood a try.

As the emotional distance between them grows and Aria loses sight of why she fell in love with Nathan in the first place, she begins seriously doubting their future together as a family. All of that, however, takes a backseat when their lives-and Noah's-take a tragic turn for the worse.

As the two attempt to work through their grief, Aria slowly begins to realize what really matters in life. But is it too late to make things right?
