Tear Me Apart

Tear Me Apart, J.T. Ellison’s latest gut-wrenching thriller, asks the question: How far would a parent go to save the life of a child?

Mindy Wright has a shot at being a top skier. But surgery after an accident reveals she has leukemia and needs a stem cell transplant.

Her parents take the test, but they have no genetic markers that match with her. The revelation that they have been hiding the truth hurts Mindy almost as much as her fractured leg. To stay alive, she needs to find her birth parents to determine if they can provide the stem cells she needs. Of course, it isn’t as simple as tracking down the people who organized the adoption or looking up names on the internet.

Lauren, who considers herself Mindy’s mother, had her reasons for keeping the truth from Mindy. Exposing the facts behind the deception might save her daughter’s life, but at what cost?

The author crafts a compelling mystery that slowly unravels like a spool of frazzled yarn, leaving both the characters and readers emotionally spent.
