Faith and identity under pressure

Set in a post-Christian America where churchgoing, prayer, and sacred objects are forbidden, the novel centers on Euphrosyne’s search for the truth about Orthodox Christianity and the icon she believes saved her life. Her grandparents and counselor urge her to leave her old name and family behind, placing questions of belief alongside a struggle over identity and belonging. The publisher notes that the second printing includes discussion questions, making the story’s religious and social issues available for group conversation.

Book overview

Forget your old name. Forget your parents. These are the things Euphrosyne's grandparents and counselor tell her. But if Orthodox Christianity is a lie, why did the icon so dramatically save her life? And what can she do to get the icon back?

 

In a post-Christian America, where going to church, praying, or owning holy things means death, a twelve-year-old girl searches for the truth. Finding it may cost her everything.

 

Thanks to many reader requests, Georgia Briggs has created a Discussion Questions guide for her novel that can be used by book clubs, youth groups, homeschoolers, or anyone who'd like to start a conversation about this thought-provoking story! The guide is in included in the second printing of the book, now available.

 

An Orthodox Christian young adult book from Ancient Faith Publishing.
