What this book is about

Sabrina has always gotten her way by scheming and manipulating, but when she ends up in Kenya surrounded by people who see through her tactics, she faces the unfamiliar experience of being truly known—and having to decide whether she wants to change. Rispin's Christian young adult fiction is set against the vibrant backdrop of East Africa and follows a character arc from self-serving cleverness toward genuine growth. Engaging and honest about the cost of dishonesty.
