In Where She Went, a fictional sequel to If I Stay by Gayle Forman, ex lovers reconnect in a busy city known as New York. One of the lovers, Adam, is the narrator of the story as he shares his point of view about this heart-rending yet heart warming night of reuniting with his ex girlfriend, Mia.

Three years before the night of reuniting, Adam and Mia were struck with a catastrophe that ended their relationship. Mia Hall and Adam Wilde had lived in Oregon and were lovers in high school who both had a passion for music. Mia played her cello and dreamed of going to Julliard while Adam played in a band called “Shooting Star”. Everything changed when Mia had lost her family and slipped into a coma due to a car crash. After waking up and healing from the crash, Mia had moved to New York to go to school at Julliard. Adam was always there for her through her healing until after she moved to New York when she stopped communication with him completely.

  • The Invisible Woman Analysis

    Stacy Davis, self-proclaimed activist for feminism and womanism, is a “scholar trained in feminist theory and African American biblical hermeneutics” (Davis 23). In her article, The Invisible Woman: Numbers 30 and the Policies of Singleness in Africana Communities, Davis argues for a prominent place for single woman (specifically those who have never married) in biblical scholarship, and as leaders in the church, with questions of their sexuality left alone. Davis argues this viewpoint from the perspective as an unmarried black woman. Davis establishes the foundation for her argument in Numbers 30, a text that altogether omits reference to single woman, rather each group of women mentioned in the text about vows refers to them in relation to men (21). Thus, Davis establishes the omission of single women in the Hebrew Bible as the invisible women.
