(4) YA Virgin teen Mina's immaculate conception strains her relationships--her father doesn't believe her, her boyfriend leaves her, she's bullied at school--especially as she decides to keep the child. Worshiped while also hated and subjected to violence, Mina must keep herself and her daughter safe. Detweiler's trite messages ("life is not always what you expect...") hamper a thoughtful exploration of faith.
