Teresia knows sleeping with the pastor's son is a terrible idea. After her mother marries an assistant pastor and moves them onto the grounds of The Well Fellowship, eighteen-year-old Teresia Elkund quickly learns never to give anyone a reason to talk. Then she meets Charles Connors. He's the pastor's son: beautiful, experienced, watched by everyone, and far too used to getting away with things. His mother wants him with a nice church girl. He wants Teresia alone without anyone noticing. He is the first boy to touch her and the first person to make her feel fully alive in her own body. Then Teresia learns about Jeannette Reyes. Jeannette used to date Charles, and neither of them seems completely finished with the other. She is also the girl behind The First Draft, a secret writing group that meets off-campus and reads the kind of stories Teresia would never dare leave open on her desk at home. Teresia wants in. She wants to write something good enough to make them stop seeing her as the quiet church girl with nothing to confess. The church wants Teresia pure. The writing group wants her honest. Charles wants her in secret. Teresia wants too much of it all to walk away. Set in 1984, Teresia is a dark coming-of-age romance about desire, rivalry, shame, obsession, and the cost of wanting freedom more than forgiveness. ❤️ REVIEWS ❤️ Your story still pops into my head.
