A teenager’s journal of faith and identity

Framed as a diary spanning New Year’s to the first day of summer, *Becoming Me* follows sixteen-year-old Caitlin O’Conner as she navigates tensions at home, shifting friendships, school pressures, and questions of belonging and first love. Her journal entries connect familiar adolescent challenges—including peer pressure, loyalty, and conflict with parents—to the book’s Christian perspective on spirituality and identity. The story places Caitlin’s changing sense of self alongside her developing relationship with God, making faith a central part of how she interprets the choices and setbacks of this transitional period.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens interested in stories about friendship, family conflict, and school pressures.
  • Readers seeking young adult fiction with an explicitly Christian perspective.
  • Those who enjoy stories presented through a teenager’s diary entries.

Book overview

In the fictional Diary of a Teenage Girl, sixteen-year-old Caitlin O'Conner reveals the inner workings of a girl caught between childhood and womanhood ... an empty life without Christ and a meaningful one with Him. Through Caitlin's candid journal entries we see her grapple with such universal teen issues as peer pressure, loyalty, conflict with parents, the longing for a boyfriend, and her own spirituality.

Follow Caitlin O'Conner, a girl much like yourself, as she makes her way from New Year's to the first day of summer -- surviving a challenging home life, changing friends, school pressures, an identity crisis, and the uncertainties of "true love."

You'll cry with Caitlin as she experiences heartache, and cheer for her as she encounters a new reality in her life: God. See how rejection by one group can -- incredibly -- sometimes lead you to discover who you really are...
