Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-08 00:00:00 Jose Luis Labalsa Llaquet "Adelaide Piper" by Beth Webb Hart is the coming of age story of a young woman. We see her intense wish to leave her small southern town and follow her to college where her idealism is shattered by the "Lord of the Flies" atmosphere--not at all what she expected it to be. Even her acceptance of Christianity doesn't take root very deeply as various tragedies of life begin to overwhelm. This is a book that, in spite of its inclusion in the "inspiration" genre, does not candy coat the reality of living away from the only home you've ever known for the first time. The take-away message that "there's no place like home" comes across as realistic rather than saccharine.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-16 00:00:00 Dan Kelleher Just reread this favorite of mine this past week. Hart is one extremely talented author. This coming -of-age novel is slightly deeper than most the ones I've read. It's Christian fiction but it's not a super in-your-face approach to sharing the gospel. It's much more subtle and realistic than most Christian fiction I have read. It deals with some tough subjects head on. I can't recommend it enough!!!
