Received a copy for review
Genre:
Young Adult/Adult, Realistic Fiction
This is a book that should be read by young
adults everywhere. Christian teens are
not immune to the temptations of the world no matter how long they have been
Christians. This is the story of four
people who face challenges in their personal lives and their spiritual lives.
Raine decides to teach at a Christian Camp to
help earn money to take her to Africa as a missionary. Cal is the son of a preacher. His brother runs the camp. Drew is the camps recreation leader. Both he and Cal are in love with Raine. Aly is Raine’s roommate and sees Raine as a
goody-goody. When her father left she
felt an empty hole. She tried to fill
that hole with guys who didn’t really care for her. She sees that both Cal and Drew care for
Raine and that sets the stage for more conflict. In the mix is Raine’s brother who has a drug problem. Sometimes it is difficult to see the problem
before us. We tend to cover it up or
make excuses until it is almost too late.
I was able to relate to this particular
situation. For years I made excuses for
my youngest sister and her drinking problems that eventually became drug
problems as well. I did this to protect
my mother I said. It almost destroyed
not only my sister, but also my family.
This is a book that should be read by everyone.
I believe it can be enjoyed by Christian and
Non-Christian alike.
