Interrupted

In fifteen-year-old author Rachel Coker's young adult debut, young Allie Everly's life is changed forever by the illness and death of her beloved mother and subsequent adoption by an older woman in Maine. Bitter and feeling unloved, Allie rejects her new mother and her new mother's faith and throws herself into her poetry, until Sam Carroll, her best friend from the past, arrives. With Sam comes a host of confusing emotions, and Allie finds she must overcome her past in order to find forgiveness for herself, and possibly discover God's plan for her life.
