Small Town Sinners by Melissa C. Walker
4.0
Lacey really wants to be the girl who gets an abortion.
Not in real life, of course. She's a Christian who would never think of having premarital sex, let alone killing her baby. But her church is going to put on a Hell House - a play where teens act out the dire consequences of sins including drinking, gay marriage, and looking at pornography - and everyone knows that Abortion Girl is the best part.
Lacey has always been secure in her faith. Her father's a pastor, she's active in her church, and her friends have always shared her beliefs, so she's never had any reason to question her religion. But when gorgeous Ty moves back to town and starts challenging her beliefs, and her life starts getting more complicated, Lacey begins to wonder if the bible really does have all the right answers...
Compassionate and honest, this book doesn't resort to lecturing or proselytizing and doesn't take the easy way out. Good starting point for teens who want to explore Christianity, or those interested in agnosticism.
