(avoiding boys, lowering your gaze, being humble, dressing modestly). She starts surrounding herself with negative people and slowly starts to lose her faith in return. She meets a white typical all american boy named Justin. He influences her to do many things and bits by bits she loses her identity. This novel is not your typical cliche novel.
