This Little Life of Mine

Book excerpt: Absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder. At least, that's how Nikki sees it. After her father walks out on her mother, it takes some time for Nikki to cope with the pain of not having him around. Once Nikki discovers gospel music, she falls in love with the way it soothes her soul and gives her someone she can trust in again- her Heavenly father. Meanwhile, Nikki's mother's new boyfriend makes her home life nearly insufferable. Nikki also tackles normal teenage drama, and the realization that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Nikki's indescribable pain and unimaginable loss cause her to come to a crossroads. Will Nikki choose to give up on God seeing her through or continue believing that He will provide for her?
