One Chance to Live Young

Imagine you opened a diary and found your own thoughts written there on the pages. What would you do? Close it in embarrassment? Read each page avidly, excited that someone finally understands? Anya Allen, London Fox, and Meschell Anderson are surprised by how complicated life has become now that they are in high school. Anya's the daughter of an overprotective preacher, London has no clue who her father is, and Meschell is constantly disturbed by all of the noise in her neighborhood-including her parents, who argue a lot. Despite their different circumstances and the drama that surrounds each one of them, the three soon become inseparable companions. After all, they know what it's like to outgrow their childhood friends and they know how much it hurts too. Join Anya, London, and Meschell on a journey to find deeper meaning in life, as they explore how their faith in Jesus can ease the pain of the transition they are experiencing from girlhood into maturity. One Chance to Live Young: The First Colorfully Candid Diary is the charming exploration of the drama and tension teenagers experience through the diaries of three vivacious teenage girls, growing up in urban Las Vegas.

What does it feel like to finish your best friend’s sentences? Comical? Surprising? Expected? Anya, London, and Meschell are back, and you’re invited to finish the sentences they start in their diaries as you get into their heads and their hearts.
The second semester of high school has even more surprises than the first, starting with Veronica, or Vero for short. There’s just something about her that’s off, and London can’t help but try to figure it out. Russell is finer than ever, but he’s off-limits, according to Anya’s parents, so Anya’s jumped on an emotional roller coaster that has no end in sight. Meschell, on the other hand, is focused, until she gets caught up in a game of Oreo. After all, what’s the difference between a dream and a goal, anyway? When Ms. Marks asks everyone to do a special project, the girls have to work to figure it out.
Two Dreams and A Goal is the second Colorfully Candid Diary about Anya, London, and Meschell, who are attempting to figure out who they are and what really matters in life. Life is complicated, and growing up is tough, but when you’ve got friends like these, it’s easy to remember you’re not alone in any of it.
