Rating: - wonderful book for Christians and "seekers"
If you are a Christian female or a female curious about Christianity, I highly suggest you read this fine piece of fiction, which is both highly entertaining and educational as well.

Julie learns to make her faith in God her own (instead of just relying on her folks' faith) and falls in love for the first time. This is definitely a coming of age novel, although I think most females ages ... Read More
