A Girl Named Mister

In A Girl Named Mister, New York Times bestselling author and Coretta Scott King Award winner Nikki Grimes delivers a poignant and lyrical young adult verse novel exploring faith, unexpected pregnancy, and grace. Mary Rudine, affectionately called Mister, has grown up singing in her church choir, but one lapse in judgment leaves her hiding a life-changing pregnancy. As feelings of shame and isolation threaten to overwhelm her, Mister finds solace and spiritual solidarity by reading about Mary, the young mother of Jesus. Grimes weaves a tender, emotionally resonant narrative that assures hurting teens of God's unconditional love and sovereign purpose.
