Lost On A Wave

by Daniel Seery

River Freeman is just an average teenager. She goes to school, leads music at her father’s church, and while she loves basketball, she’s just not good enough to make the team. At sixteen she finds herself pregnant and is faced with a decision too many young girls have to make. So overcome by the waves in the vast ocean of life, she decides to leave the world she was born to. To face her creator, and ask him the question that has always puzzled her…Why?

[Karla · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really loved this book. It had a few different elements in it. There is a lot of Christian elements in it, mixed in with some extra exciting stuff too. I recommend this book.
