About this audiobook
Olivia Sloane doesn't want to live anymore. Her whole life is a struggle. Her health, her school, her social life, and even her relationship with her mother are all a mess. The world itself is a mess. With lethal acid rain and stifling, ever-present fog, nothing thrives in her home city, and it's even worse outside—or so she's been taught.
Her best friend, David, also has a hard life, but he has hope. He's convinced that there's something better hidden beyond the fence surrounding their city and has always suggested escaping together. Olivia has never taken it seriously. But after a failed suicide attempt, her stay in the mental ward leads to a series of suspicious encounters with her mother and a fight at school. Feeling like there is nothing left to lose, she decides to give David's idea a shot.
Despite their poor health and reports of killer beasts, Olivia and David brave the wilderness. The truth they discover there—not just about their society but about themselves—is more astonishing than anything they ever imagined.

Diane Anthony
Diane was born and raised in central Wisconsin, giving her the love of the wilderness that is apparent in her latest book, THE RARE. She's a big Marvel fan (sorry D.C. fans). She especially loves the X-Men universe and the variety of superpowers. So much so, her first book, SUPERNOVA, was inspired by it. A lifelong passionate reader, she has always been drawn to stories that have an element of superpowers or magic. As a writer, her work comes from that place of passion and those elements are often a focus of her own stories. Along with her love of the wilderness, she decided to write about the difficult subjects of teenage depression and suicide in THE RARE, drawing off her own experiences. These topics are often overlooked, but Diane understands that they are very real difficulties and they need to be handled with care.
