New LifeBy Kelsey GallantDescription:
Sixteen-year-old Aleah Matthews is living a wild and reckless life, consumed with getting revenge on her ex-boyfriend for leaving her alone and pregnant last year. Her nights out with various guys leave her little time for anything else, including talking with her overworked mother and taking care of her baby boy. Although Aleah presents herself as confident and self-assured, on the inside she is brokenhearted and lost. Book Takeaway:No matter who you are or what you've done, Jesus is holding out His hand to offer forgiveness and a beautiful new life. Why the author wrote this book:I created the character of Aleah Matthews before I had any intention of writing a book about her, and a few years later I realized that her story would make an excellent book series. One of my favorite authors is Karen Kingsbury, and I wanted to write books like hers that portray realistic, flawed characters who learn valuable lessons about God's love through challenging situations. |
