loving this series. YASMINE is so wise behind her years. Reading these books makes me wish I had a friend like her growing up. This book got deep Yasmine so mature out of all the kids in these books.
Poor Rhonda
Poor Asia
omg Sandra made me want to whoop her (You know what). YASMINE definitely earned her name in the book of Lamb. There should definitely be a teen series following Yasmine into adulthood. YASMINE deals with conflict like we all as Christians should. I hope her mother cuts her some slack because she's mean as heck. the writer did a good job Yasmine family issues are very relatable.

April 28, 2024These are the kinda books I read back when I was under my mother's religious teachings. I started with this author's Carmen Browne series when I was tween and read the first book in this series after I had finished that one.
These are really hard to read once you're no longer a religious person. There's no real chance for different ideas or values to be explored. I can imagine how this would be helpful for Christian youth in confirming their beliefs but I'm not sure this is useful to anyone else. I also don't entirely agree with some of the lessons on forgiveness or the condemnation of certain behaviors depicted in this book. Besides all that, the writing leaves a lot to be desired.
It's also really awkward and cringy and odd when the term African-American is used instead of black. Why a black author can't just say black makes her writing seems unnatural. It's clear I've outgrown this author.

Yasmin Peace is in the eighth grade and was also a strong believer in Christ. She is facing a lot of difficulties. Her friends Vieda, Asia and Perlicia are bad influence. All they do is talk about sex and boys. They call her a baby because she doesn’t like hearing those kinds of nasty things at her young age.
Her dad is locked up in jail, her mom doesn’t have time for the family, and Yasmin’s brother, York is in a gang. Yasmin is a believer in Christ. Jada, Jeff's old girlfriend is pregnant and she does not know what to do with the baby since Jeff committed suicide. Jeff was Yasmin brother. Jeff took his own life because Jada lie to him saying the baby belong to someone else. Jada just didn't want to ruin his career, that's why she didn't tell him the truth.
Yasmin's mom cannot pay the bills because she doesn’t even have enough money to take care of her three children. One day with Yasmin's prayer, her mom got a new job in nursing. Even when her brothers don't listen she still holds on to her faith and believes in hope.

Yasmin Peace has become great friends with Vieda, Asia, and Perlicia. One day at school Yasmin's friends start talking about this Dakari character from a tv show . Yasmin doesn't have cable so she can't watch it, but soon her friends start talking about what they want to do with this character and Yasmin doesn't feel comfortable talking about sex at her age so she takes a stand. Yasmin's friends call her a baby because she doesn't like to talk about these things but Yasmin likes to do what is right. When Myreks sister Jada who was Yasmin's deceased brother's girlfriend tells Yasmin's mom and her dad that she is pregnant all hell breaks loose. Later in the story Jada doesn't know if she wants to keep the baby so she looks into adoption. Yasmin's aunt and uncle have tried for years to have a. Baby but couldn't so they eagerly told Jada they would like to be the baby's adoptive parents.
