The Gospel According To Rue

In a town that worships image and sin in equal measure, two girls collide on opposite sides of salvation.

Eden Grace is the preacher's daughter - quiet, obedient, and invisible. Rue Bennett is anything but - a recovering addict with a haunted past and a reputation that precedes her. When they're paired for a school assignment to write a poem about redemption, Eden expects awkward silence. What she gets is a slow-burning connection that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew about faith, desire, and herself.

As their worlds begin to bleed together - late-night talks, secret notes, stolen glances - Eden is pulled into Rue's chaos, and Rue finds herself drawn to Eden's light. But love, like faith, isn't always clean. And some kinds of salvation can only be found in the wreckage.

Raw, real, and painfully intimate, this is a story of two girls trying to save each other - and maybe, in the process, save themselves.
