The Christian Approach to Islam (1918)

Karen was a smart, pretty girl from a picture perfect, middle class family. Outwardly she lived an amazingly charmed life, but what the world saw was not real; it was a beautiful illusion fabricated to conceal the horrible truth. Tragically, no one ever knew the unspeakable things that happened to her until now. Infused with the intimate details of her provocative teen life, her voyage through adolescence teaches some hard lessons in self-worth, love, sex, alcohol abuse, and suicidal thoughts. With the author’s use of vivid word pictures, striking metaphors and angsty similes, the reader will be right next to her as she surfs amazing highs and drowns in deplorable lows. The reader will realize her blatant mistakes as she makes them without her preaching, simply because the poignant, brutally honest, slap-you-in the face actions speak volumes.
