Synopsis

Rachel Walker is devoted to God. She prays every day, attends Calvary Christian Church with her family, helps care for her five younger siblings, dresses modestly, and prepares herself to be a wife and mother who serves the Lord with joy. But Rachel is curious about the world her family has turned away from, and increasingly finds that neither the church nor her homeschool education has the answers she craves. Rachel has always found solace in her beliefs, but now she can't shake the feeling that her devotion might destroy her soul.

Goodreads review by Louisa on July 26, 2015

Jennifer Mathieu is a YA author to watch. The Truth About Alice was similarly short in length, yet both books pack such a punch you're left in a daze of "how did I not read this before?". What might my future husband think about the fact that I've read A Wrinkle in Time three times in the past few......more
