Good start, Bad ending

I had to read this book for an english report. I thought that the plot of the book was good. The characters seemed realistic to me but then again I dont know many teenagers that would be attracted to a man like Brother Jackson. I was excited to be done with the book thinking that everything would turn our great for Anne-Marie, but I was wrong. After I read the last sentance of the book, I was very disappointed. The ending wasn't anything I had expected it to be. In my opinion, it would be a 5 star book if the ending didnt turn out the way that it did!

They didn't live happily every after

Faith Wish is a great book that mature teenaged girls can relate to. AnneMarie, a beautiful, 17-year-old underachiever, has been put on an academic contract and will not graduate with her high-school class - to her dismay. When she attends a tabernacle meeting led by Brother Jackson, a charismatic, handsome self-proclaimed minister, she becomes a true Christian. After discovering she is pregnant with Brother Jackson's child, she turns to him for help, and he takes her to a spiritual redemption camp to find guidance. There, she sheds her old skin and past sins, including sex, drugs, and smoking. Unfortunately, all does not end well, as she struggles to find answers to her dilemna.
