What a beautifully written book. I loved seeing the main character struggle to find autonomy in her romantic relationships and ultimately work through it. It was so satisfying that this was not a romance, but more about a young woman’s coming of ag ...more

Linda’s Quotes

“I want to tell her that God is not a cement building of stones and sand. That God is not for all that putting inside a house and locking Him there. I want her to know that the only way to know if a person find God and keep Him in their heart is to check how the person is treating other people, if he treats people like Jesus says--with love, patience, kindness, and forgiveness.”
― Abi Daré, The Girl with the Louding Voice
