Young Adult Fiction
Stephanie’s Story
Stephanie
Green hates the way she looks. She’s always been bigger than other girls her
age and is getting fed up with looking different. She’s been told that it’s
what’s on the inside that counts and God loves her no matter what, but these
days, she isn’t buying. After yet another unsuccessful day at the mall,
Stephanie vows to shed some weight before her high school graduation- no matter
the cost.
But
the diets she tries just don’t seem to work and soon Stephanie finds herself at
her wit’s end. She’s convinced that this is necessary and she can’t be happy
until she is thin. But she’s in for a rude awakening when God uses an unlikely
character to get a vital message to Stephanie- before it’s too late.
A New Season
It's
Stephanie Green's freshman year of college and things aren't as easy as she
thought they'd be. She shares a dorm room with her best friend Hayley, who's
been acting a little strange lately. Stephanie's boyfriend is M.I.A and her
sister Danielle is caught up in a whirl wind romance and getting ready to say
"I Do." Add to all of this the stress of starting college, the
uncertainty of what lies ahead, all the while trying to adjust to her new
independence, and it seems like a recipe for disaster.
Stephanie's
friends were there for her when she was in need. Can she do the same for them?
Growing
up is not for the faint of heart in the sequel to Stephanie's Story, but it is a road not traveled alone.
Misfit Like Me
Growing
up different is hard; especially when you're a Goth in the Bible belt. No one
knows that better than sixteen-year-old Madeline Warner. The teasing from her
peers, many of whom claim to be Christians, has hardened her heart toward the
people around her and the God they claim to serve. If they can be so unkind,
then what would God Himself have to say to her?
Lonely
and in the middle of sophomore year, Madeline gets a new locker buddy, punk
rocker Alice Wang. With her colorful make-up and hair and unique taste in
music, Alice seems like friend material, but some of her choices may keep the
two apart. And on top of that, Madeline's Bible toting Grandma is on her way
for a visit.
