ABOUT THE BOOK

Riley McGee has the whole world open before her. She could get into any college, major in any subject, become whoever she wants to be...But the truth is, Riley has no earthly idea what to do. She's paralyzed by indecision, afraid of the changes she faces, and as graduation day inches closer, it feels more and more like a threat.



Meanwhile, her autistic brother, Michael, is struggling to fit in at Marina Vista and stay on top of his classes. Riley tries to keep an eye out for him, but when Ms. Moore suggests pulling Michael out of school, Riley has to fight for her brother--and against her favorite teacher. And things take another turn when her ex-boyfriend, Tom, arrives, hoping to give their relationship one more try. On top of that, an ambitious new pastor makes her question everything she thought she knew about faith.

My Review: I loved this book and have to highly recommend it. It's the perfect book for pre-teens and teens to read that helps encourage the challenges that are faced by girls on the verge of entering into college. The best part of this book is how Riley chooses to handle the different situations she encounters and I personally feel this would be a great resource to pass along to our children. This book reminds me of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants but with a Christian element woven throughout. How Riley gets through her last year of high school with her friends, family and even God's help is amazing!

I was provided with a copy of this book to review compliments of Christian Fiction Blog Alliance. This is definitely a series of books my daughters are reading and loving! It's definitely a positive influence in their lives!
