In the not-too-distant future, huge tornadoes and monster storms have become a part of everyday life. Sent to spend the summer in the heart of storm country with her meteorological engineer father, Jaden Meggs is surprised at the strides her father's company StormSafe, has made with custom shelters that keep her family safe in even the worst of storms. At her exclusive summer science camp, Eye On Tomorrow, Jaden meets Alex, a boy whose passion for science matches hers. Together, they discover that her father's company is steering storms away from the expensive neighborhoods and toward the organic farming communities that are in competition with his bio-engineered food company, NatureMade. Jaden must confront her father, but when she does, she uncovers a terrifying family secret and must call on both her scientific knowledge and her faith to save the people she loves most from one of her father's monster storms.

"This was more interesting than I thought. It wasn't just about some tornado, its about a future where tornadoes happen like everyday and there's only one safe zone. The main character moves there and finds out things aren't what they seem"

"Eye of the Storm is a beautiful allegory piece with dazzling descriptions. I felt like I was right there in the stormy desert with our main character. <br/><br/>This story would be confusing to a non-Christian audience, as the allegory is not subtle, but very direct. A non-believer would understand the overarching concept of love that weaves its way carefully through this story but would not understand certain images presented and would be confused by some things. <br/><br/>But for those who are believers, I think this is a valuable piece. It is a lovely reminder that Christ’s sacrifice is, at its heart, one of deep love."
