Just One Perfect Night
Katy gets the chance of a lifetime---she's been elected to
the homecoming court, and there are rumors her crush, Bryce, might ask her to
go with him. What could be more perfect? For one unforgettable night she would
be able to experience life as many other teenage girls do---a stunning gown,
gorgeous hair, jewelry, and makeup. Except Katy's Mennonite community prohibits
dancing as well as fancy dresses and makeup, and her father would not approve.
When an opportunity arises that could allow her to attend
without her father knowing, Katy must decide: Will she hold tight to her
convictions, or will she sacrifice her principles for one special night?
KATY’S HOMECOMING is the third book in Ms. Sawyer’s young
adult Mennonite series, Katy Lambright
series. Readers will want to read Katy’s
New World and Katy’s Debate first
as the books really doesn’t stand alone.
Those who understand Amish / Mennonite / Conservative
Christian fiction will understand why Katy has the dancing dilemma she faces. I
cheered for her as she struggled with her need to fit in since she’s viewed as
“weird” by both her Mennonite community and her high school peers. And I hoped
she would make the right choice.
Those who like Amish / Mennonite books and young adults will
enjoy reading KATY’S HOMECOMING. Recommended. $9.99. 208 pages. Ages 8 and up.
