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 by slybatspidow

"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

Unpredictable by fallensnow02

Sophie Smith is a foster girl who's bounced around from state to state, "looking for her forever family," but Sophie's not stupid. She knows she doesn't have one. Her newest family, the Evanses, seem nice, but Sophie knows they don't really want her. After all, who would want a seventeen-year-old burden? Dylan Waters has nonexistent parents, so his best friend's parents, and next door neighbors, look after him. He's still in high school, but he's got a daughter, Aurora Jane Waters. Her mom barely let Dylan keep her. With the Evanses' help, Dylan is learning how to become a dad, trying to finish high school, and dealing with the fact that he maybe-kinda-sorta likes the Evans' new foster daughter. The thing with human beings is that they make mistakes. Sophie knows that. Dylan knows that. But mistakes are what can make life a true rollercoaster ride. They can make life...unpredictable?

Faith and Despair by Savahanna_

One second her mother is there and the next she's gone. Now plagued with hard decisions and a father who is losing his cool, she has to figure out a way to move on.

Following Her Heart (CURRENTLY EDITING) by booklover466

Hannah is nervous to start her freshman year at a new school, Thomas Edison High. As her school year begins, she finds out schoolwork is pretty challenging-not to mention her closest friend at school is beginning to be bullied by some mean students. She is also starting to be influenced by a new friend at Thomas Edison who encourages her to make some decisions she isn't so sure is right as a Christian girl, and meets Danny, a fellow student involved the school's drama production. Unsure of the decisions she should make and how to cope with all the bullying freshman year, she learns some valueable lessons in and out of school this new year, about who really are her best friends, always and no matter what. I'd like to thank @kirstenk923 for the wonderful cover she made for this story. Thank you so much, its beautiful! <3
