What does Kira know about them? For Allison, the answers are getting darker every day. Besides, with an image as carefully cultivated as her garden, Kira would be insane to risk everything on something as outrageous as the attempted murder of one of her closest friends. ![]() But no one said the innocent had to be likable-or entirely honest. ![]() And PTA president Kira Grant certainly appears innocent-except for the toxic bloom in her backyard and perhaps a bit of a malicious streak.

Along the way they find insight in the strangest places-the community swimming pool, Casey Kasem's American Top 40, and an Indian mosque. Eschewing evangelical clichŽs, idyllic depictions of Christian upbringing, and pat formulas of sinner-to-saint transformation, these writers reflect frankly on childhoods filled with flannel board Jesuses, Christian rap music, and Bible memorization competitions. Whether they stayed in the church or not, evangelicalism has shaped their spiritual lives. What happens if you don't have such a testimony? What if your story just doesn't fit the before-and-after mold? What are you supposed to do if your voice is not one usually heard? In these offbeat, witty, and often bittersweet essays, up-and-coming writers tell the truth about growing up female and evangelical. From an early age you are expected to have a testimony, a story of how God saved you from a life of sin and sadness and gave you a new life of joy and gladness.
