(4) YA This is an intimate portrait of one young woman struggling with her commitment to the Christian Patriarchy movement. Although she has had a happy childhood, teenager Rachel struggles with the fundamentalist doctrine and her own desire to explore the outside world. The plot is predictable, but the first-person narrative is perceptive and largely avoids oversimplification of life within or outside the movement.
