Behind Her Smile

Written by Rosemary Hines

Narrated by Becky Doughty

Not good enough . . . The words echo in Madison Baron's mind as the darkness presses her to be thinner, more beautiful-somehow more attractive to her peers. A junior in high school, she is facing life without her childhood love, Luke Johnson, who is off to college in the Midwest. Alone with her insecurities, Madison yearns for acceptance-until Miles, that is. Will a relationship with this new student on campus be the answer she seeks? And how will his resistance to her Christian faith affect her future?

As the two of them grow closer and closer, something happens inside of Madison, and she finds herself more insecure than ever. Gazing into the mirror at her thinning face and trendy makeup, she hopes no one sees the fear behind her smile.

The sixth book in the Sandy Cove series, Behind Her Smile touches hearts of young and old alike with the message of God's redemption and love, reminding us that our true sufficiency and value come from Him and Him alone.

Reviews for Behind Her Smile

[beverlyl-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What an enjoyable journey back to Sandy Cove. This series has been filled with great stories, great spiritual truths, and applicable themes, but this is by far Rosemary Hines’ best writing.I’m sure you’ve heard the popular saying, “I am enough!” But do you really believe that? If you are relying on yourself for that worth, then you will fall short. But, if you are relying on the forgiveness of God, then yes, you are indeed, “Enough”! In the pages of Behind Her Smile, you will truly find your worth in God’s eyes. This is an awesome display of the forgiveness of Christ! It may be a fictional story, but you will find Truth within these pages.In the beginning of the book I saw it as an awesome book for teen girls who felt the pressure from their peers to “fit in”. As I read farther, I saw it as a book for young women who looked back over their teen years with regret. As I read farther yet into its pages, I saw this as a book for mothers of adolescents who were trying to help their children find their way in this crazy world. By the time I read the last page, I thought, Wow, this book is for everyone! There was so much spiritual food spread out on the table to be feasted upon by all who curled up with the pages of this book. So pull up a chair, open the cover and join in the feast. Your heart will be filled! Your soul will find refreshment.
