After her mysterious abduction while visiting a prison pen pal, 18-year-old Celie Jantz is dumped unconscious on the shores of her quaint beach town three days later. She awakes only to find her childhood innocence has been pilfered: her mother is dead, her father is psychotic, and she suddenly has a strong romantic interest in her high-school best friend, Gabe Gibson. She's not even sure it's her life she's living anymore. Celie's suspicions are confirmed when an unfamiliar yet hauntingly handsome man, Kadem Nero, recognizes her immediately on campus during university orientation. Can Celie deflect Kadem's malevolent intentions long enough to solve her own identity crisis? Or is a part of her yearning to fall victim to his undercover alien mission? A hopeful, "coming of age" novel, Metamorphosis explores the tenuous but undeniable connection between our body and spirit; the natural and supernatural; and good and evil, but most importantly, the power of our choices to change the world when we are first transformed. Told through the eyes of the three lead characters, the book also includes questions for literary discussion by book clubs.
