EDITOR'S NOTE<br />
Amanda Brown<br />
She's just the girl next door. He's just the guy in your class that seems to float<br />
around, never talking to anyone. The teen contemplating suicide. The boy who<br />
never gets out. The two sisters fighting depression together. The contemporary<br />
genre shares the stories of their amazing lives. These stories tell about the battles<br />
that people around you or perhaps even you yourself are struggling with.<br />
The girl who lost her mother. The boy who just wants to give up. These are the<br />
novels that we can perhaps relate the most with. None of us were born with<br />
magical powers or as princesses. We're just ordinary. Normal. But really, we're<br />
extraordinary.<br />
We all have goals, hopes, and dreams. We're all the work of a God that wrote our<br />
contemporary story. No matter what you do, He knew you were going to do it.<br />
That doesn't mean you're in His will or He agrees with what you are doing, but<br />
While a relatable genre, this is the genre that can also be the hardest to navigate.<br />
For some reason, a good book nowadays has to be overflowing with cuss words<br />
and explicit scenes. You can pretty much guarantee that if a book is on the New<br />
York Times Bestselling List, it's not going to be something your mom would be<br />
proud of you reading.<br />
In this issue, we try to share some contemporary novels you'll be proud to read.<br />
We also share some books that you may want to watch out for.<br />
Enjoy!<br />
