The Famous One

Joey Parr never thought he would end up famous. Troubled from childhood and rebellious in adolescence, he all of a sudden finds himself tossed in a role he's not sure he wants. He's also searching for a love he's not sure he'll find. Lost in desolation, drunkenness, and lust, is there any hope for Joey?
And what do you do when you feel God has placed a burden on your heart for someone famous? Sarah Pressner has no idea, but the burden is that Joey would know God's love for him, and it's up to her to tell him. But how?
Nicole Petrino-Salter has created some memorable characters that I was sad to see go. She portrayed very well the struggles humans go through, and the victory at the end, making the characters easy to relate to. I enjoyed watching Joey Parr from the beginning of his life to the very end: watching him struggle, grow, and discover. I would recommend this book for any adult college aged and above.
