NCLA Review: In the first book of the Diamond Estates series, teenager Olivia Mansfield just wants to escape. She wants to get away from her stepfather’s abuse, her mother’s ignorance, and her memories of her father’s death. This fervent wish leads her to make poor choice after poor choice until she reaches rock bottom. It is then that she is introduced to Diamond Estates, a God-focused home for troubled teens. This book uses many character clichés, but deals with them in a realistic and believable way. Getting to know Olivia is like getting to know a real person. At first, the reader sees her as a typical bratty, rich teenager. But as the book goes on, more of her past is revealed and her true self emerges. Topics such as forgiveness, consequences, and the lasting effects of abuse are dealt with realistically, and Olivia’s search for and struggle with God are both well done and believable.

I went into this story expecting one thing and came out with something completely different. I'm an emotional reader, and this one had my crying at parts. I understand that this type of story isn't for everyone, that some people don't like them. But I've come to love books under the "Christian Fiction" umbrella. I enjoy reading a story that an author as constructed to display the christian faith. I enjoyed the story and am very glad I picked up this book. ( )
