Hope's Journey

Sydney Steele has it all figured out—top grades, scholarships, and a devoted boyfriend—until a positive pregnancy test shatters her plans weeks before high school graduation. As Alex pulls away and their LDS community judges her, Sydney must discover her own divine worth and decide the future of her unborn child. Told in alternating voices, this faith-centered story explores insecurity, forgiveness, and the redemptive power of the Savior for two teens navigating the consequences of their choices.

• A dual-voice story that lets readers inside both the pregnant girl's AND the boy's heart—rare honesty about how teens process the same crisis differently.
• Based on the author's own true experience as a teenage mother—raw, real, and redemptive.
• A powerful Young Women resource on divine self-worth: 'You have eyes of divinity.'
• Tackles a taboo subject with faith and compassion, breaking down the stereotypes and judgment around teen pregnancy in the LDS community.

“You, Sydney Ann Steele, are a daughter of our Heavenly Father! He loves you, Skittles! He loves you! You are His precious daughter—a literal child of Deity.”

Perfect for an LDS teenage girl or young woman (or her mother) wrestling with questions of self-worth, peer pressure, and morality who wants a faith-affirming story about mistakes, forgiveness, and finding value as a daughter of God.
