Publisher Description

Beth Webb Hart, author of Christy Award finalist Grace at Low Tide (K1174), delivers a compelling faith-based novel that highlights a small-town girl's coming-of-age journey through her college years. A precocious and idealistic poet, Adelaide Piper can't wait to escape her tiny, South Carolina mill town for the freedoms of a prestigious, far-away university. But she's unprepared for the party school reality that soon leaves her devastated, demoralized, and desolate. And then she remembers the "Jesus freak" who'd been her best friend-until her spiritual transformation.

"This book was interesting from the very beginning. A good book that deals with awakening spirituality, christianity & the violence of date rape & its lingering, life-long ramifications. I was interested from page 1 - in depth subject matter but an easy well flowing read."

— Melanie (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I couldn't decide between 3 and 4 stars.... so I give it 3.5 stars. Fun to read if you are from SC or live in SC. "

    " I loved Grace at Low Tide, but this book needed a better editor. The premise was promising, but it needed to end much sooner than it did. The drudgery of those last pages made it a chore to finish. "

    " This book took me by surprise....more complex than I thought for a random pick up book from the library. Good coming of age story based in SC and VA but as the plot unfolded, dealt with more and more complex issues. I will definitely read other books by this author. "

    " Not what I expected when I started it, but held my attention all the way through. Left me wondering where life would take Adelaide next. Strong Christian message , but doesn't preach. Enjoyed it. "

    " I liked this book, but wish that the beginning was edited out. At first, nothing happens to Adelaide. It isn't until she gets to college that the story really begins. I would have given it more stars if it didn't include the boring beginning. That said, the plot gets better and is worth the read. "
