Young women are deeply dissatisfied with society's standards (and double standards). They want more for themselves--but sometimes they don't quite know what that more should be. That's where Miss Black New Jersey 2018 and Teen Vogue "It Girl" turned fashion writer Tarah-Lynn Saint-Elien comes in. Through her insightful comments on media, pop culture, and pervading cultural myths about beauty, fashion, and womanhood, Tarah-Lynn dismantles the messages that feed into the insecurities, fears, doubts, and guilt that young women experience today. She introduces them to an understanding of God as a loving Father and the King of all kings, who bestows upon his daughters a crown of love, worth, and power. And she shows them how to not only claim the promises of God but also walk purposefully in them as independent women (no prince necessary!) who respond to adversity with righteousness and authority.

On the road to love and redemption, Crown faces hard lessons, a daughter Sela, born with his deformity and a wayward brother Jackson bent on claiming the estate.

A TIME Magazine Best YA Book of All Time A Stonewall Honor Book A Reese's Book Club YA Pick Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She's smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams . . . or make them come true?

My story is about a senior in high school, named Kennedy Taylor who has to move across the United States halfway through her last year of school due to her dads job making him relocate. She had a rough time for the first few weeks, fitting in with a new set of people than what she is used to, different from her friends way back home. A few mean girls, especially Adriana who were jealous of her, made life miserable until she meets a guy named Kevin, a guy who is nice on the eyes and everyones favorite athlete. Emotional and physical pain overruns though. Adriana also happens to be Kevins ex girlfriend. Adriana has the ability to turn Kennedys life into a nightmare. Will Kevin be her night and shining armor? Will he be the guy he promises to be to her for the rest of high school, or college? What about for the rest of their lives? I am very passionate about the bullying subject; no one has the right to do so, whether its young as elementary school kids, or as old as people in college. Kennedy goes through some of the everyday pressures you have to go through during your adolescent life. She has her virginity, and her beliefs about abstinence, until she feels like she doesnt want to keep her promise to herself. She lacks the confidence she needs to make some of her dreams come true until a modeling agency likes and accepts her for her, which turns her life around forever. I do believe as the Golden Rule says, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Just like Kennedy always believed What goes around comes around.
