Evangelical churches sing hymns written between 1870 and 1920 so often that many children learn them by rote before they are able to read religious texts. A cherished part of communal Christian life and an important and effective way to teach doctrine today, these hymns served an additional social purpose in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: they gave evangelical women a voice in their churches.

Themes: Hi-Lo, Cutting, self-abuse, teen pregnancy. This is a series for young adults who find conventional fiction irrelevant or too hard to read. The series takes an honest and hard-hitting approach to subject matter that many teens will identify with, such as self-abuse, family breakdown, suicide, and sexuality.

The clear, carefully chosen font is slightly larger than normal, and paragraphs are broken with a space. Themes include: cutting, self-abuse, teen pregnancy - Tom Hathaway's got it all, including style by the label-load. But intrigued by the mysterious, scarred Sylvia, he becomes increasingly drawn to the cut of the flesh rather than the cut of the cloth.
