Book Description
Let’s take a moment here. The words last term of senior year need some respect, not to mention celebration. They need to be paused over and savored. Excuse me. … Okay, I’m back. Yes, Lissa Mansfield is back, ready for graduation after overcoming cliques, classes, and controversy (just don’t bring up the Callum McCloud video incident from her first term). Her friendships with Gillian, Carly, Shani, and Mac have been through the fire and come out on the other side like pure gold. But the year isn’t over yet. Her nemesis, Vanessa Talbot, lets slip a secret so shocking that it could ruin her future—and Lissa holds the key to her total destruction. Lissa could rule the school, if it weren’t for her troublesome conscience prompting her to do the hardest thing in the world: the right thing. “Full of faith, love, and hope, Lissa, Gillian, Carly, Mac, and Shani lead by example—and this comes out ten-fold in The Chic Shall Inherit the Earth. When others would turn their backs, these girls reach out and try to make things better. You can’t read this book and not want to follow their example. Adina is a wonderful author, whose books no one should miss (no matter what your age).” —NightsandWeekends.com

The girl who has everything is dating the handsome prince. What’s wrong with this picture? Shani Hanna has always felt like the poor little rich girl—she has everything she wants and almost nothing that she needs, like the attention of her globetrotting parents. But all that changes during senior year at Glory Prep. After an amazing summer in Santa Barbara, where she meets Danyel Johnstone, who might be the hottest guy on the planet, she returns to school happy and determined to keep a relationship alive, to say nothing of acing her grades and snagging a place at Harvard. But on her first day back, she meets a handsome prince—no, really! Prince Rashid of Amir is spending an exchange term at Glory Prep, and he only has eyes for Shani. Talk about an embarrassment of riches—Shani would give anything to see Danyel, but circumstances always seem to force her together with Rashid. What she doesn’t know is that her family and the prince’s go back a long way. In each generation, they’ve expanded their business interests through a tradition as ancient as it is inescapable ... and despite all her plans, Shani is the next in line. “What a fun read! Every little girl dreams of being a princess, but there’s a lot more to it than one might think.” —recording artist and Grammy nominee Jaci Velasquez

Discernment is my superpower. But how do I tell friend from frenemy when I’m the new girl? When surfer Lissa Mansfield transfers from Santa Barbara to posh Gloria Stanford Fremont Preparatory Academy in San Francisco, she figures joining the in-crowd will be easy. Popularity has never been a problem before. But now the obstacles are mounting up. There’s the queen bee, who is determined to keep Lissa a wannabe forever. There’s her new roommate, Gillian Chang, who’s as loud as a New York taxi about how happy she is to be a Christian. Her friend Kaz back home says he misses her, so why is he always talking about the girls he dates? If Lissa can just downplay her faith long enough to get the attention of Callum McCloud, the hottest guy she's ever seen, then none of this will matter. But when the price of being Callum’s lady means going all the way with him, Lissa has to decide exactly where the line is—and whether she’s prepared to cross it. Between that and finding a place on the committee for the biggest media event of the year ... who knew life at Glory Prep could be so complicated? “This book is so much fun. The characters are charming and right from the beginning I was pulling for Lissa to make the right choices.” —Trashionista.com

Book Description
Home or school? Old or new? Family or friends? With Christmas—and finals—coming up fast, Mac can’t make up her mind where to spend her vacation. In Santa Barbara with Lissa and Shani? In London with her mother? Or in Scotland with her dad in the family castle, trying to reconnect with old friends who just might not fit her anymore? For Mac, the best way to allay her doubts is to organize something—like a family Christmas and even a traditional Hogmanay dance for New Year’s Eve. So she invites everyone—Lissa, Gillian, Carly, and Shani—to join her! And if she can get her mother involved, maybe her parents will see what a mistake they’ve made and realize they’re meant for each other. When they arrive they find the castle falling apart and the earl in denial about the family finances. Mac’s old friends hate her new ones. And a video has gone viral, forcing Shani to dodge men in black sent by the royal family of Amir. Can the girls find reasons to celebrate the season … and will a certain young man with an old crush on Lissa realize in time that Mac is really The One? There are tidings of great joy in the hills of Scotland … if only Mac can believe it’s all part of God’s plan for her … “A little romance, a little intrigue (how can you not have that in a castle?), and a whole lot of love among friends and family make this a delightfully festive read.” —Nights and Weekends

New Yorker Gillian Chang returns for her second term at Glory Prep in San Francisco ready to share her faith, dive into her studies, and have fun with her new best friends.

Gillian’s falling hard for a junior who’s already preparing for his Ph.D. in physics. She’s got his attention—but can she keep it when she’s never quite able to measure up and be the perfect girlfriend? She gets that he’s under a lot of pressure, but is that a reason to take it out on her? In trying to help, she hides more and more from her friends. So when scandal breaks with Gillian in the middle, even Lissa and Carly wonder where the truth lies … “Adina hit a perfect balance. Her characters are strong Christians, and their faith is a big part of the story … but she never really hits you over the head with it.

Pages : 231
Book Description
The sweetest song comes from a forgiving heart. —Whinburg Township Amish proverb The summer Simon Yoder broke her heart was the summer Cora Swarey lost her ability to hear the music in Colorado’s high country. She thought God had brought them together, but when Simon dropped her to pursue an Englisch woman, she wondered how she’d ever trust again. Yes, he came back asking forgiveness, and she gave it because that was what she’d been taught. But she never forgot. It was almost a relief to know she’d never see him again. Until she is invited to a wedding in Whinburg Township, Pennsylvania. Cora is the only woman Simon Yoder has ever wanted, but because of his own pride and conceit, she is out of his reach forever. So at his aunt’s wedding, it’s a more than a shock to see his biggest regret walk in with the other young women. God may be giving him another chance, but he’s pretty certain Cora won’t. Words don’t hold much value, so he lays out a plan of action. He knows that music is the key. Can he help her find the music again? And if he succeeds, how can he show her that she’s the one who makes his heart sing? The Sweetest Song is the ninth novel in the Whinburg Township Amish series. Books 7-9 can be read as standalones, and have a thread of family and friendship running through them all. No strong language, just a loving kiss and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Samantha Price, Amy Lillard, or Grace Lewis, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!
