Jeffrey B. Allen takes readers on a fantastic journey into the Land, a place where reality blends into fantasy. 

This inspirational story is about 12-year old John Greber who, with his mother, Ellie, suffers abuse at the hands of John’s father, whom he calls “The Beast.” One day his father abandons the family, but he takes John’s six-year old sister, Marny, with him. 

On a mission to rescue his sister and confront his father, John and his mother find themselves entangled in a Civil War that could destroy the Land and the World. GoneAway - Into the Land travels a totally different direction than expected. With its poignant theme of family abuse, the story proves that the strength of the human spirit can overcome all odds.  

“There is a faint dream-like quality to this book,” says author A.F. Stewart in a recent review. “GoneAway - Into the Land is a captivating book with a creative narrative that quietly lures a reader into an original world that is fully realized and thoroughly absorbing. It transcends into a superb piece of fiction, and I recommend it highly.”
