Freeing Tanner Rose by T.M. Gaouette

I loved this book so much, wow!
At first, I wasn't sure how the author would tackle the issues, especially those on modesty. It's such a touchy subject, that you could present the right belief of it poorly very easily. But I loved how one character told her to dress modestly for herself, and her own self-worth, not because she might lead others to sin. I appreciated this because usually people see the latter as the reason when it's only a plus.
Moving on in the book, you get to heavier subjects that deal with addiction and lust. I really like the way that the Christian side was portrayed progressively during this, I think it was written realistically. At first, they're shocked, and may not condone those things in the best way possible, but they learn the best way to help the addict.
The final thing, which was the theme that held the whole book, characters, their vices and virtues together, was prayer and trusting in God. I think that [a:T.M. Gaouette|6037114|T.M.

This is why it went to my "tissue-box-needed" shelf.
