Blog Tour: Fade to White
Mental health is a subject that is very dear to my heart, so finding a book that is so honest about it, is a breath of fresh air.
Our heroine knows she suffers from anxiety, but doesn't know what her white-outs are, and it scares her into tugging out her own hair- like most other things in her life. Her life seems so normal in its chaos- drama at school and even more drama at home- and it's easy to see why things are falling apart in her head even as the world seems to be falling apart around her. And so relatable as well. As unique a character as she is, she is also so very relatable as well.
The story is poignant, and through that poignancy, it had me on the edge of my seat, rooting that the heroine, her brother, and everyone she loves gets to the other side of this episode of their lives not only alive, but thriving. Healing. Growing.
The story read like a secular novel with the way it grappled with life, yet had an underlying current of Christian truth that gave it the hope the other gritty novels are so lacking in. I heartily recommend this tale to all teenagers and adults.
I received a copy of this book from the author, but was not required to give a favorable review.

Thea Fenton’s life looks picture-perfect, but inside, she is falling
apart. Wracked by anxiety no one seems to understand or care about, she
resorts to self-harm to deflect the pain inside.
When a local teen commits suicide, Thea’s anxiety skyrockets. Unexplainable things happen, leaving her feeling trapped within her own chaotic mind. The lines between reality and another world start to blur, and her previously mundane issues seem more daunting and insurmountable than ever.
Then she meets Khi, a mysterious new boy from the coffee shop who seems to know her better than she knows herself—and doesn’t think she’s crazy. His quiet confidence and unfounded familiarity draw her into an unconventional friendship.
Khi journeys with her through grief, fear, and confusion to arrive at compassion for the one person Thea never thought she could love.
A deeply transformational novel from an authentic new voice in Christian young adult fiction.
