Sandra McLeod Humphrey (Goodreads Author)
Anyone who is (or who ever has been) 13 will identify with Leslie's struggles to make sense of her family, her faith, her own thoughts, and the world.

Even I at the age of 66 could relate to the things this young teen discussed with God through her lettrs to him. Some of the things that she discuss with God made me want to laugh, cry and rethink and reexamine my own relationship with God.

Very excited to have won this book! Topic is interesting to me and I'm hoping it will give me some perspective on talking to my step-kids about having a spiritual path (even if it doesn't happen to be with God).
