Both times I've read this book I've found it EXTREMELY interesting. Ninah has grown up in the small isolated community of Fire and Brimstone and God's Almighty Baptizing Wind. The leader of their religion is her own Grandpa Herman, who makes the rules for everyone. Almost everything is forbidden, and if you fall into temptations punishment is inevitable and somewhat brutal. For Ninah temptation comes in the form of her prayer partner, James. Ninah is determined not to sin with James, SO determined, that she's willing to fill her shoes with shells to keep her mind on Jesus' pain. Nevertheless, she soon finds herself pregnant. She fears the wrath of Grandpa Herman, the church members, and God Himself. I'd recommend this book.
