Prompting Noah

Artist. Vandal. My best friend.

Noah is a talented delinquent, a vandal thumbing his nose at the world that hurt and disappointed him. Madelyn, his neighbor, is a good girl, invisible and lonely, who's determined to save Noah from himself. What do they have in common? Both need God's transformational power to heal and rescue their lives.

When he loses his parents, wealthy school athlete Noah moves in with his aunt and uncle. His passion is art, and in his anger toward his distant, neglectful parents, he's been practicing that art illegally by spray-painting images on the abandoned warehouses at the edge of town. He has no idea how to continue this under the watchful eye of his new guardians. Why do they care about his life and future when he barely cares about himself?

Maddie, his new neighbor, gets sucked into his passions in her attempts to save him, risking her relationships, her reputation, even her life for a guy who doesn't always seem worth it. Shedding her invisible skin and taking risks for someone else is new and uncomfortable, but once she starts, she can't go back to who she was.

Unfortunately, illegal hobbies usually have a bad end. It's a good thing God is a master at dramatic saves, bold mercy, and seeing the worth of those the world deems unredeemable.

Prompting Noah is part of the Snack Cake Chronicles, Christian young adult novels. Read them in any order, tales about growing up, growing in faith, and learning to love.
