After graduating from the Secret Seminary, Hannah and Simon are ready to return to their homeland. Their training has equipped them to carry the gospel to a country ravaged by darkness and despair. If necessary, they're even prepared to face the North Korean labor camps, but the hardest part of their mission isn't the hunger, cold, and incessant danger. The hardest part is cutting off contact with one another. In this world of spies, secret police, and informants, Hannah and Simon learn that staying together won't just compromise their ministry. It could cost them both their lives.
Two undercover missionaries delivering a single message of hope. Two Christians willing to die for the sake of the Good News. One love - more powerful than terror, more beautiful than life, and more dangerous than either of them could possibly imagine.
A love so strong, nothing but the grave could overcome it.

Honestly, that could sum up the entire thing. From the very first page all the way to the end, the entire novel is gripping, intense, and heartbreakingly real. I generally lean toward historical fiction, so this novel was a completely different type for me to delve in to. Originally, I thought to read a bit here and there over several days; however, within just one chapter, that thought went out the window and I just kept on going, unable to put it down and leave Hannah in the middle of her story.Ms. Terry is a writer very gifted with imagery and character emotion. I could clearly see what they saw - and it wasn’t always pretty. I felt what they felt - and it hurt to even know such atrocities are possible in this fallen world. Her writing is just so very real and believable, and it’s almost incomprehensible knowing that circumstances such as these are happening half a world away. The characters took on their own identities quickly and were given a life of their own in a way that only truly exceptional authors can make happen. Hannah’s and Simon’s plights were thorough and well-developed. Supporting characters were created to be just enough and not too much – the enigma that is Moses had me going for awhile, slowly trying to figure him out and tugging my heartstrings with anguish in some areas. I questioned him, his actions and motives, and even had to get up and go find my husband to drag him into a discussion about this character and his path. This is actually the first book I’ve read by Ms. Terry, and I wonder if she’s already told some of Moses’ story. If not, she could easily create another novel focused on him. I plan on getting her other novels now just to find out!Well done, Ms. Terry, on creating such a well-written novel that truly shows the reader the plights of hidden Christians in places that are not nearly as safe as where we personally may live.“She pictured a day — years in thefuture, but coming nonetheless — when God would transformthe very land they stood on. She saw the ground itself purgedand cleansed from all the innocent blood it had soaked up overthe decades. Former guards and former prisoners met together,clasping hands and asking God to heal and forgive their nation.”What a powerful image. I stopped and reread that particular passage several times. It was a poignant culmination of thought from the main character, and by the time I read it, I was feeling everything going on within her heart.

By Julie Torn Asunder is the third book in a series of novels by Alana Terry that can be read in any order, or individually as a stand alone story. Torn Asunder is the first love story of the bunch, though it is not your typical romance novel. True to the style of writing found in the Beloved Daughter and Slave Again, the author draws out deep philosophical and theological questions that leave the reader with food for thought and discussion long after the book has been read.The book follows two North Korean refugees mentioned briefly in Slave Again, Hannah and Simon, who have been trained in the 'Secret Seminary' by an American missionary couple. They are sent back to North Korea to carry out specific missions for the underground church. Their love for each other is overshadowed by a greater passion to bring light into a darkened North Korea. They are separated when they leave the Seminary, and the book chronicles their stories as they wrestle with how to reconcile the feelings they have for each other with their missionary work.Alana Terry has a gift for developing three dimensional characters who struggle with some of the most difficult conflicts of the human spirit and come out on the other side looking much like someone might in real life; there are no simple answers, no decisions that come easily. One of my favorite themes of the book was summed up in the quote, "Never judge someone who fails a test you have yet to pass." Torn Asunder was full of tests of the will, tests of faith, tests of priorities. The way the characters engaged these tests was fascinating and thought provoking. I felt myself drawn into each character, feeling what they felt and understanding why they made the choices they did, even if I would like to think I would have chosen differently.This book had some seriously difficult scenes to digest, as did the previous two in the series, but in a climactic scene toward the end of the book, there seems to be a brilliant hope for North Korea emerging that causes the reader to realize that all of the pain, sacrifice, and suffering is sowing into a greater plan and the harvest will eventually come.I would highly recommend this book, and can honestly say that Alana Terry has become one of my favorite authors.

This book evokes so many emotions that I don't even know where to start. Though it's the sequel to Slave Again, it can be read independently, and to be honest, I think it's even better than the first book (which tends to be rare)!Torn Asunder follows Hannah and Simon, North Korean refugees who have trained as underground missionaries in China and have now returned to North Korea to spread the word of the Gospel. Just as many Christians are persecuted for their faith in real life, Hannah and Simon suffer much abuse, which Ms. Terry does not sugar-coat. I appreciate that she keeps it real and raw, but for some, it may be a trigger and too graphic.The characters in this book are not always as they seem, and it can be hard to understand when some characters are killed out of "compassion." Hannah's pure heart and complete devotion to God are an inspiration, and I am ashamed to admit that I would 99% not survive if I were in her shoes. The love story between Hannah and Simon will leave you teary-eyed and on the edge of your seat, and many of us will wish we had such a connection with another person.I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
