Addison Blakely, Confessions of a PKBy Betsy St. AmantDescription:Sixteen-year-old Addison Blakely has tirelessly played the role of PK—preacher’s kid—her entire life. But after Wes Keegan revs his motorcycle into town and into her heart, Addison begins to wonder how much of her faith is her own and how much has been handed to her. She isn’t so sure she wants to be the good girl anymore. Why the author wrote this book:I wrote this novel first for teenagers who grew up in church and consider themselves Christians, but might not be sure why. PK's and other kids who were "at church every time the doors were open" often get overlooked in fiction and I wanted to challenge them to acknowledge the depth of their faith. Do they believe because THEY believe? Or are they simply absorbing a religion that was handed down to them, without ever making it their own? |
