    KEISHA'S DILEMMA is a short yet very meaningful read about a girl named Keisha, whose life changes
    dramatically before her senior year of high school. After starting to date Derek Cole without the knowledge of her
    strict father (who thinks Derek is a thug), Keisha is faced with many difficult decisions.

    Not only does she have to lie to her father, but she must choose whether all the difficulties are worth the
    relationship with Derek. Should she keep lying to her father about the relationship or give up the boy that she has
    come to love?

    This is an honest story that deals with some very important issues of teenagers today. Pregnancy, drugs,
    relationship problems, and friendships are all brought up in this book, and the issues are discussed in a very
    effective way. Keisha is a very down-to-earth character, and readers find themselves hoping that things will get
    better for her. Also, the book has a very clear moral message that never gets too preachy.

    KEISHA'S DILEMMA will not disappoint readers who like realistic stories that will move and inspire them to do
    great things in the world.
