Missing parts of Mocked by Destiny
So everyone knows the published Mocked by Destiny faded to black when the couple conceived since it was a Young adult genre. As part of a donation to raise money for LLS, I have donated the first missing scene.
To help them in their efforts, donate at least $5 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at:
Mocked by Faith Summary
For Alexia Cross and Justin McNear, things are not what they seem. Both were born and raised in hidden, gated communities. A place where time virtually stands still and marriages are arranged by parents before a child's 18th birthday.
Alexia is destined to be her community's first spinster. In a last ditch effort, a husband is found. The only complication? He has no idea he has been betrothed. Will his history of dating outsiders help or hinder his relationship with his future wife?
Justin McNear searched outside his church for the woman of his dreams. Returning home after failing, he knows he needs to rectify his life and his faith. Can a woman he's never met make him whole again?
Will this couple end up mocked by their own faith? Follow Alexia and Justin through the trials and tribulations of finding, falling, and surviving each other's love. It's never easy saying "I do" to someone you don't know.

Another Wonderful Review and Seal of Approval!
My Thoughts: Richards tackles a very difficult subject in Mocked by Destiny – the issue of teen pregnancy. As a Childbirth Educator I usually have very strong feelings about fiction dealing with teen pregnancy because so much of it tends to idealize or glorify this trend and not show the hardships that can be associated with it. I was so happy to see that Richard made Stella (and her family's) reaction to her pregnancy to be quite realistic and she took the time to illustrate the emotional roller coaster that a teen might face upon discovering an unplanned pregnancy. Through Stella readers were also given a realistic view of the financial and logistical (ie. having to finish high school, get a drivers license and start college) hardships that a teen could have to deal with.To read more visit http://www.handsandhome.ca/2011/06/mo...
