Believing in Hope — Stephanie Perry Moore

In this second book of the Yasmin Peace series, family tensions and school unrest soar to a fever pitch. A school counselor begins the LIGHT club, a club dedicated to helping eighth grade girls deal with issues like gangs, depression, teen suicide, and self esteem. Yasmin discovers that there is hope on the other side of every obstacle -- if she holds on to her faith.

This book reminds us of Yasmin's determination to keep her family together. Even as some situations seem to get worse, she realizes that her hope is in the Lord, and we witness how she learns to rely on Him.
