My Review ~

Scottlyn is young girl pregnant as a result of rape, who has been forced from her home by an angry and disagreeable father. Transferred to a different school she becomes acquainted with a teacher, Diana Kensington, suffering her own losses. Diana discovers that God has placed this young girl in her life and heart for a divine purpose. This pregnant teen's dreams for herself and the future of her child have a major impact in her teacher's life and perspective. As God speaks to her through this young girl, Diana's life begins to fill with meaning once again.

Sharon Srock pens a short story of how one person's life can have such a dramatic affect on another. One woman's losses are minimized by the knowledge of what a young girl has suffered. As God moves in the lives of these characters, hope is embraced by both, and a teen-aged girl who has no church background finds Christ. This is a wonderful story of faith and hope in tough times. I recommend you grab a copy and feel the redemption that speaks through this story.
