Review:
Dee and her husband Roger
live with her daughter Valerie and her husband Andy in their new home. Valerie
had the house built after their previous home burned. The new home is a modern
looking glass house. Father Mike asks the family if his teen group could hold
meetings there. It isn’t long before neighbors start to notice all of the
activity and it only gets worse as more family members move in.
As the tension builds
inside and outside of the glass house Dee is forced to examine her traditional
thought process. When a body is discovered in the back yard of the glass house
Dee’s world grows even more intense. Will this break the family and the
neighborhood or will everyone come together through faith?
Author Sydney Avey weaves
emotion throughout this story. Readers are invited to look in and out at their
own lives regarding choices and judgement of others. As crisis hit we all have
to dig deep and keep our faith. This is a great teen read. Parents and teachers
can use this as a read-a-loud for added discussion.
