Sixteen-year-old Bella Garling is an orphan who thinks she is cast into a hypocritical Christian family by the foster care system.
Bella is strictly not religious at first, and she hates the fact that they seem to force her to tolerate their religion. But when new Christian friends enter her life from her new school, she begins to investigate whether the belief in Christianity has good outcomes in the lives of her friends and family, or if it just draws them into becoming hypocritical and judgmental snobs.

But when the drama rises and a kidnapping takes place, Bella wrestles with the possibility that she might be broken forever, unless she believes in Jesus Christ.

Love Me When I'm Unlovable by Geekgirl531
27 parts Complete
Sixteen-year-old "model Christian" LeAnna Daniels is rooted in God's Word. She knows she's His Child. There's nothing she can't handle with His help. She knows every rule there is to know in the Bible. She knows exactly how to witness. Or so she thinks. Then her family takes in Rita, a wild, reckless fifteen-year-old who was orphaned and placed in foster care at the age of seven. Rita tests LeAnna in ways she never thought God would test her in. When Rita makes a terrible decision and pays the consequences, all LeAnna wants to do is scream at her, and she doesn't understand why. It's a lesson she never thought she would ever need. It's a lesson on how to love someone. Fifteen-year-old "juvenile delinquent" Rita MacKenzie is mad at the world. It's not hard to see why. A fire killed her parents when she was seven, she was separated from her siblings, and a lifetime of trauma and abuse follows her. Then she's sent to what the judge calls her last shot before shes shipped to juvie. And possibly her last chance at a family. No one wants a teenager, after all. She hates it. Strict parents and a foster sister who's constantly trying to shove religion down her throat might just be the last straw for her. But just as she begins to learn that their love- and God's love- has no strings attached, a terrible mistake has her questioning everything, especially God's love. It's a lesson Rita's been neglecting for years. It's a lesson on how to accept love, especially when you know you don't deserve it.
