Both of Emma’s parents are evangelical ministers who are on the verge of losing their church. In addition her parents have told her that she must go to a Christian college or they won’t pay for it. Emma decides to enter a contest to write a feature story for the local paper about the new donut shop opening and win the scholarship money so she can go where she wants. In the end everything works out, but not as you would expect. The biggest strength in this book was that voice of Emma was very revealing and poignant. She asked some very tough questions about religion and came to some revelations about herself, her spiritual life and her relationships with others. Overall, Emma seemed very relatable and I think many young adults could relate and have probably asked some of the same questions.
