About the Book
Fourteen-year-old Fear learns she was a parachute baby, dumped over the edge of the Gliding Lands as an infant. Fascinated by the floating cities in the sky before, now she’s desperate for answers.
But a slave isn’t likely to get those answers.
When her abusive Downer family throws her from their hovel, Fear takes refuge with a family who shows her love for the first time. Surely they can’t be trusted. Years of abuse and molestation has taught her that.
Then her brother discovers where she’s hiding and tries to kidnap her. Fear will never let him touch her again. Her new family conceals her at the Fallen, a ranch that hides parachute babies from the Uppers who discarded them.
Just as she’s beginning to embrace yet another home, Fear’s new little sister, Happy, is kidnapped and taken to the Uppers’ temple harem. Fear must go against her namesake, find a working hoverpod, and journey to the dreaded Gliding Lands before the little girl’s innocence is ripped from her forever.
Can she save Happy in time?
And will she find answers to the burning question of why anyone would throw her away?

My Thoughts
Ending Fear was a very impactful read. It has a unique premise and takes place in a frightening dystopian future that might not be too far off from becoming reality. It was fast paced and had me zooming through the pages as quickly as possible.
Fear went from an absolutely horrible home situation to finding herself in a loving and wonderful environment. It was completely foreign to her which was so heartbreaking. It was amazing to watch her discover God and His love. So powerful!
Ending Fear is the perfect read for fans of dystopian fiction. I can't wait for book two!
