In Too Deep: A Christian Fiction Novel
19-year-old college student Ameena Washington is trying to find her identity outside of her prominent name. Her father and mother pastor one of the largest churches in Chicago while her older brothers are being groomed to one day take over. Ameena, not quite sure who she is, what she stands for, or if she even has a true relationship with God, finds herself trapped between doing what is expected of her and exploring unknown territory. In the midst of this identity crisis, Ameena meets Jordan Walls- an attractive, popular football player whose charismatic charm knocks Ameena off her feet. Wrestling with morality, Ameena dives quickly into a dark hole of lust and lies, yet comes to learn what it means to have a real, raw relationship with God when her life is altered forever. This coming-of-age story showcases what it means to collide head-on with the destiny God intends for us to have.

Good coming of age story. Nineteen year old Meena tries to find her own identity once becoming a college freshman. Having been raised in church - her father a minister - she knows the Godly way to live. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean she's saved or has a personal relationship with God. When she catches the eye of a popular athlete, she goes from saint to sinner. And truly finds her way to God.
I loved that Meena's parents supported her through her downfall; they should have, but let's face it, some Christians are too holy to have their name and image scarred by their children. It may have been beneficial if the parents, especially the first lady, had talked to Meena about more worldly things instead of relying solely on the Bible.

This book was recommended to me, and I finished it in one hour. I genuinely enjoyed this book, and the "feel" of the writing. The story seemed so authentic and original, like this could have happened before.
I totally understand Ameena's "pastor's-kid-syndrome", even though it doesn't justify her actions. I am almost sure her new relationship with Jordan was a test from God, to see if she would "crack under pressure". Overall, this book was a great example how God can heal and redeem, after we've made seemingly "unforgivable" mistakes. 😇
