Redemption of Daya Keane

We Are Okay meets The Lesbiana`s Guide to Catholic School in this heartfelt, queer coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a small town`s evangelical megachurch culture. The end of Daya Keane`s junior year in Escondido, Arizona, is anything but expected. And it starts when her longtime swoon-worthy crush, Beckett Wild, actually talks to her at a party neither of them should`ve been at. But as Daya`s best friends, Stella and B`Rad, are quick to point out, smart, cute, artistic Beckett is also the poster girl for the wildly popular youth group at Grace Redeemer, the megachurch Daya`s mom prays at and pushes her daughter to attend. Amid the concert-worthy light shows, high-energy live band, and pastor preaching to love thy neighbor so long as thy neighbor "gets right with God" first, Daya struggles to find her place in a house of worship that doesn`t seem to create space for someone like her. Then again, she never planned to fall this hard for a girl like Beckett Wild. Now Daya has to decide how far she`s willing to surrender to Beckett`s world of Grace Redeemer, and who she`s willing to become to be with her. A fearless and profound tale ideal for readers of Jeff Zentner and Jennifer Dugan, The Redemption of Daya Keane gives an intimate and unforgettable look into a world that demands to be seen.
