What We Saw

Kate Weston can’t fully recall the events that transpired last Saturday at John Doone's party.

Although she remembers a few things, all that suddenly changes when a picture of an unconscious Stacey, on Deacon Mills's shoulder, surfaces online the following morning.

A huge debate soon follows after Stacey presses charges against four of Kate's classmates.

When some truth comes to light, Kate finds herself with more questions than answers.

Did anyone see what happened to Stacey? If so, should they come out and reveal the truth?

Inspired by the Steubenville rape case, this gripping book explores the fine line between being guilty and being innocent.

Rapture Practice: A True Story About Growing Up Gay in an Evangelical Family

Brought up in a strongly evangelical home, Aaron Hartzler was raised knowing that the Rapture could happen at any time.

The idea that any moment might be his last excited a young Aaron.

But as he became a teenager, Aaron started growing fond of worldly things, and soon realized that he didn’t really want the Rapture to occur anytime soon.

And with time, he fell from being a strict follower to a certified rebel.

From his experience, Aaron learnt that your closest friends aren’t necessarily the one that your parents approve of.

In this witty and sincere memoir, author Aaron Hartzler narrates the story of how he lost his faith and found his own truth.
