Based on the drastic steps that the author’s friends took when their children were out of control.
Best Friends Forever
Bargaining with God
On her thirteenth birthday, Patricia Kelly writes in her new diary, “God, if you will bring Yoshi home from that desert prison camp, and make things like they were before, maybe I can start trusting you again.” The MIzukis come home, but persecution follows. Hate signs on school lockers. Shunning by other students. A cross burned in the MIzukis’ yard. Pat knows that God can fix things, but she can’t help asking, “Why is He taking so long?”

This fictional young Pilgrim aboard the Mayflower is moving from Holland to the New World, America, in the vanguard of a new nation of free people. Especially for girls ages eight to twelve.
Time Period: 1620. Freezing weather, lack of food, and sickness make the first winter at Plymouth Colony a difficult and dangerous time. What would that winter be like for a ten-year-old girl? Find out in Rebekah in Danger, part of the Sisters in Time series. Written especially for eight- to twelve-year-old girls, this dramatic story shows how a seventeenth-century girl-not terribly different from girls of the twenty-first century-overcame some of the most challenging difficulties imaginable.
