Pure by Terra Elan McVoy: Best Friends, Boyfriends and Purity Rings

Tabitha and her best friends all made a promise when they were tweens: to keep their virginity until marriage. Their purity rings mean everything to them - friendship, faith, and a promise to God and each other. But as Tabitha gets older - she's fifteen now - everything's gotten more confusing...and more exciting, especially having her first real boyfriend. When one of Tabitha's friends takes it to the next level with her boyfriend, crisis hits their close-knit circle. Like lots of Christians, Tabitha struggles with what's right - What does it mean to be loyal to a friend? What did Jesus say about sexuality? How can you hold to your values without being judgmental? Pure shows one good- hearted, smart girl wrestling with the tough issues and the excitement of growing up.
