If you haven't read this book, you're missing out on an amazing story of how God can help us triumph over anything.
This book is a true story about a 17 year old girl's idea of what a relationship with God is truly about. When the book starts Kristen is feeling let down by life and she feels like she should just take her own life because she's not loved or appreciated...She does attempt to commit suicide by throwing herself on a train track...She manages to survive with severed legs...The really great part of this book isn't about how she was unsuccessful in taking her own life but discovering how much she was really worth in God's eyes and how she decided to start living for Him...Throughout the book there are letters written to us the reader giving advice on things like warning signs for someone who may be suicidal, or how to develope a closer relationship with God...A prayer that someone could say if they want to get saved...and at the end of the book there's even a letter from Kristen's mom describing how she felt and what the rest of Kristen's family went through while Kristen was healing from her failed suicide attempt.
