Dealing with Your Weaknesses Can Help You Find Your Strengths
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- On the outside, Megan seems liek a typical
LDS girl. She participates in all the Church programs and always
seems to have the right answers. But when she falls in love with
Kurt, a young boy who is not a member of the Church and is a couple
of years older than she, the standards she can recite by heart just
don't feel all that important.
In "Megan" (Bookcraft, $16.95), popular LDS youth writer Jack Weyland
tells the story of a young girl willing to take risks for the boy she
loves. At first the risks seem small -- staying out too late,
dressing more provocativesly to please her boyfriend, even the
friction developing between Megan and her mother. But those risks
lead to an unexpected pregnancy, abandonment by the baby's father,
and the challenge of facing a difficult situation on her own. Is
repentance possible? Should she keep the baby? or should she give it
up to be adopted by a childless couple whose greatest wish is to have
a family?
In his usual insightful way, Jack Weyland explores the problem that
is all too common in today's world. The author of more than 20 novels
and short stories specificially designed for LDS teens, Weyland is
best known for titles such as "Ashley and Jen," "Michelle and Debra,"
"Night on Wolf Mountain," "The Krystle Promise," and "Charly." He and
his wife Sheryl are parents of five and live in Rexburg, Idaho.
