Jordan Version 3.2

If you knew a dark secret about the one you love, something they don’t even know, would you keep it from them? Or would you tell them? When a young man wakes in the middle of the ocean, he has no memory. His ability to read has been erased. The cryptic words “Anag. Norisis, Inc.” written on his life jacket are beyond his comprehension. He discovers a raft rigged with hidden cameras and survives to reach an island whose inhabitants have formed two tribes. Determined to learn who he is and who put him on the island, he befriends reclusive Aleah who tells him she’s lived alone for years. He suspects she’s withholding some deeper truth from him. But why? Drawn together by desire and danger, he and Aleah overthrow the island’s brutal leader in order to escape. Only once they discover the mainland, everything he’s learned about himself is turned upside down. The world they’d hoped to find has become something unimaginable, and in that world, their love will face its ultimate test. An epic love story of truth and survival, Jordan Version 3.2 challenges us to consider the essence of our passions, the power of language in shaping who we are, and the nature of what it means to be human.
