Description
Wrong race, wrong age. But a love that felt so right. A story that encapsulates the issues of today: a young woman fighting for a love in a society that forbids it; a story about race relations, hate crimes, and teen pregnancy.
Angel-Louise wasn't supposed to fall in love with him. Her family, her age, her religion, and her race ruled against her having anything to do with him. But she couldn't help it -- even when she knew it was wrong and against everything she'd been taught. He was too old for her. Add to that, he was the wrong race.
Strict, bible-believing people, her family had always told her girls like her end up "where bad people go." And now, she had to make a choice. What was she going to do? Where was she going to go?
Trigger warning: This novel is based on true events. You probably shouldn't read this book if you are offended by incidents of interracial romance, abortion, racism, teen pregnancy, racial prejudice, or hate crime.
Advance Praise
" reviews from amazon
1) This book is written in first person and reads like a spoken diary. A diary full of secrets, truth, poems (beautifully written), lessons, and family drama.
2) Angel lives in a small town, regularly goes to church, and tries to stay within the lines she's been born into with her family. When you grow up with a church family, there are specific rules and boundaries you can't cross because of them. ... Angel only wants to be herself and do things her own way even if they are not the best way to handle certain situations. Angel dreams of getting out of her small town and going on her own path, leaving her family behind. That is when until she gets involved with the wrong guy at the wrong time. I'm not going to spoil it anymore, but the results that occur from this pairing kept me glued to the pages till the very end. Amazing novel!
3) I love this book. Angel is a teenager that falls in love with someone, which is taboo in regards to everything she has learned up until now. Watching her come into her own was a great experience. The story is told through Angel Louise and was done very well. It brought me back to my own teenage years."
