Terri Blackstock

 

I have not read all of Terri Blackstock’s books but the ones I have read I have enjoyed immensely.  I think the very first Terri Blackstock book I read was “Covenant Child” in middle school. Actually, I think it is the very first Inspirational fiction novel I read.  I reread it not too long ago and I couldn’t remember what I thought of it back in middle school.   For the life of me I can’t remember.  I did like it the second time I read it though. 

If you haven’t read it, you should give it a try. 

Why would children of wealth and privilege live in squalor? Little Kara and Lizzie were heirs to one of the largest fortunes in the country. But when their father and his parents die suddenly, the toddlers are ripped from the arms of a loving stepmother, and given to their cruel maternal grandparents, who want the children’s fortune for themselves. 

Even the stipend they get for supporting the children is squandered in the gambling casinos they frequent, while the children raise themselves. Kara and Lizzie grow up believing they are worthless…until the day when they learn the truth. www.terriblackstock.com
