Review: Powerful Prose

This is powerful prose as only author, Laura J. Marshall, can phrase it. Spanning a week in time, each chapter details one day in the life of a girl struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide. Scripture is used to set off each passage so that the reader sees the spiritual battle being warred for the girl's soul. Yet in the midst of such a heavy storyline, there is hope and humor and a very likeable character in the boy, Rush, as well as a little romance. This story carries a strong message that I believe teens need to hear.
