I know! I know! It's been a whole month since I blogged. Well, I got engaged, and I've been a bit preoccupied. Deal with it. :P
Adelaide Piper is a completely different kind of Christian novel. This is my first experience reading Beth Webb Hart. I didn't even realize she was a Christian author till a few chapters in. All I knew was that the protagonist was from a wealthy Southern family. Not exactly stuff I read for fun.
But I was pleasantly surprised. This is a "coming of age" story (another volley of groans), but for once, it's actually realistic. Good and Evil don't always hang out in the same skin. Even the hero Christians have a full range of neuroses. It's not all easy to stomach, but the events in the book are important to consider. There's no real happy ending, but it was appropriate for Adelaide's story to end without being wrapped up.
Read the book. Give it to teens and young adults especially.
