Teen Fiction

  • In My Own Way

    $16.99

    In My Own Way is the eighth book in a series that travels alongside four friends as they deal with teen life in Riverbend, Indiana. This novel inspires young women to deepen their relationships with God as they face real-life issues and solve their problems in God-honoring ways.

    “There is a certain expectation for how characters look, don’t you agree? Why do casting directors start with headshots?”

    Amelia Bryan has heard it before. Of course. Doesn’t the pretty girl always win?

    But there may yet be some surprises in store for Amelia. The summer is behind her . . . just a bad dream she’s trying hard to forget. She has the kindness of her friends, the guidance of God. And then there is that sweet note from the nice boy she met at theater camp.

    Chin up, Amelia. You can do this. Your way.

    Today’s girls can relate to Amelia’s struggles with appearance and identity. Amelia frequently compares herself to others at school and in her community and feels like she doesn’t quite measure up to the perfect standard that is expected of her. The Riverbend Friends series addresses these topics from a healthy Christian perspective and helps parents have important conversations about tough topics with their teens.

    Harley Lotitto is in more danger than anyone realizes. His Uncle Ray has cornered him into secretly finding recordings he’d hidden–before going to prison. Evidence powerful enough to get Ray out of jail–and put a worse man behind bars. If Harley succeeds, Quinn Lochran will get multiple life sentences. Lochran has a dark plan to make sure that evidence never sees the light of day. Ray’s ‘get-out-of-jail’ ticket might just become Harley’s death warrant–and Parker’s too.

They have a feeling that the boys are going to need all the help they can get… and they’re right. These friends have survived deadly situations together before. But this time escape seems more hopeless than ever. What do you do when you’re surrounded by darkness… and dawn will never get there in time?

    “It starts today. Your world is about to change.”

    Harley ignores the cryptic warning but soon learns the chilling message is absolutely true.

    Parker will do almost anything to help his friend-which is exactly what has Jelly and Ella worried. Their efforts to change Harley’s self-destructive course simply haven’t worked. Now they have to find a way to stop him before he goes off the deep end . . . and takes Parker with him.
