Fifteen-year-old, Sophie, is just trying to navigate high school in 2007 with her Christian faith intact. Friends, boys, bullies, death, and spiritual warfare will push her to her limits. Will her faith stand up to the trials ahead? Or will it crumble under the pressure?

Andrew is a troubled soul. On a path of self-destruction, he often jokes that only God could save him. He had no idea that God would use a girl to do it. 

Josh is a typical teenage boy crushing on his best friend. Could a good Christian girl ever love him as he is? Doubtful, but after almost two years of friendship he's tired of the friendzone. Can Josh win her heart? 

Sophie cares deeply for both boys but in very different ways. A tortured soul she must rescue. A playboy she must tame. Can she do either all the while protecting her heart and her Christian faith?

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
