Valkyries: Some Through the Fire (Valkyries, Turning to Christ, a Young Woman Learns the Reali)
reviewed A little offensive on + 7 more book reviews


I found this to be a great story, but the author's obvious contempt for the Catholic faith comes thru loud and clear. Tracy, a troubled young girl from an even more troubled home, is forced into a Catholic boarding school. Having found faith in the baptist religion before coming to the school, Tracy rebels in every which way possible. Along the way she makes some friends and learns how to depend on others and let others depend on her.
While I am not Catholic myself, I did find the author's protrayal of the Catholic faith really offensive. All Catholics are portrayed as bad or as simply not that bright. I don't think it's a coincidence this book was published through Moody Publishing house, an exteremely conservative fundamentalist religious group.
