God didn't create us to be average. We were made to excel. Ephesians 1:4 Daily devotions written by a teen girl to teen girls. Dedicated to God, my mother, my three amazing sisters, and my truly fantastic best friend. Also to all you teen girls out there. You are the kings daughter! Smile and shine, princess!

Samantha Eriks is a photographer, not a miracle worker, and she knows that. But being an average C student, trouble maker, and mess-maker in her second year of high school, she feels pity towards the lost and broken like herself. As her mother fights her last battle with cancer, she also fights to show the world as it truly is. Her photos are a mess of themselves: strange, abstract, and eye-catching. She empathizes with people very well for an anti-social girl. She meets a guy her age, Wesley. He's extremely good-looking, and she can't figure him out. But he has problems even worse than Samantha's- ones that no one likes him for. So how do you combine a passion for pictures, a brand new camera, an interesting boy, and a pair of dusty Converse? Ask the girl behind the camera. She'll tell you.
