Dancing in the Rain: The Final Cut
Our Price: $12.95

Dancing in the Rain: The Final Cut by Tara L. Nicole is based upon a true-life story about an adolescent growing up and taking control of her life.  She found the strength within herself and learned that she didn't have to live with depression and self-mutilation.  Drue is a teenager who falls in love for the first time in high school; she goes through the struggles of the average American female teenager: first crushes, heartbreak, SAT's, alcohol, insecurities, and attempts to find out who she is and who she wants to be.  After a grueling experience she comes out stronger and still 'dancing in the rain.'  The author tells her story-with hope that those who are discouraged and feeling alone will realize that they are stronger than they know, that they've got what it takes to pull through and, as this book says, "everything is ok in the end; if it's not okay, then it's not the end."

From five years old, Abbie didn't know who she was supposed to be. To deal with her lack of identity she turned to self-harm, using it as a form of control. Eventually she began the painstaking process of ceasing her behaviour and discovering her identity in Christ. She was finally able to say that she was free of self-harm. This honest account shows how difficult it is to be a Christian who is struggling, and that healing is something that happens throughout Christian life, as you grow in God.
