Red by Annie Cardi

In this young adult retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, Tess is forced to find the strength to break the cycle of abuse occurring in her church after getting an abortion. Told in a way that doesn’t demonize faith, but rather shows how it can come up short and allows Tess to find her voice again.
