The Destiny Series by Cindy Ray Hale! YA
So... I edited this amazing book called Synchrony by Cindy Ray Hale. At first I was like I'll just edit the book because another friend recommended her to me. I didn't know if I would have a connection with the story because the characters are high school age. I don't read or edit a lot of young adult. Ms. Cindy sent me the first book to the series, Destiny, to read so I could have the background for Synchrony. Well, I'll admit when I'm wrong, but I was completely wrong about Synchrony. After reading Destiny, I was ready to jump into Synchrony. This story is more than a girl picking the right guy to be with. Religion plays a huge role in this series. I'm a lover of religion, I love learning about the different religions. I'll admit I didn't know that there was a conflict with the Mormon Church and the Baptist Church and this series brings it to the forefront. I did some research of my own and was taken back by the way the Mormons are unfairly judged. Ahhh Anywho, not the point of my post. I just wanted to let you know about this amazing series. I purchased both books for Hunter to read. There is a huge lesson in this series and I can't wait for Hunters thoughts on these novels!
Destiny Clark, a young Mormon girl living in Tennessee, is wildly infatuated with Isaac Robinson, the headmaster's son at her Baptist high school. When they're cast together in the school's production of Les Misérables, Destiny is horrified to find that she has to be publicly humiliated by acting out her true feelings of rejection onstage.
As their rehearsals begin, Destiny realizes the unimaginable: Isaac has developed deep feelings for her despite their religious differences and the fact that he has a girlfriend.
But will they be able to find their place amongst the backbiters of their ultra-conservative world?
Weaving around Destiny and Isaac's alternating viewpoints, Destiny is the first book in a series inspired by the characters of Les Misérables and explores heartbreak, self-discovery, intolerance, and love.
