Purity
Autor Jackson Pearceen Paperback – 12 aug 2013 – vârsta de la 15 ani
How
far
would
you
go
to
keep
a
promise?
Before
her
mother
died,
Shelby
promised
three
things:
to
listen
to
her
father,
to
love
as
much
as
possible,
and
to
live
without
restraint.
Those
Promises
become
harder
to
keep
when
Shelby's
father
joins
the
planning
committee
for
the
Princess
Ball,
an
annual
dance
that
ends
with
a
ceremonial
vow
to
live
pure
lives
--
in
other
words,
no
"bad
behavior,"
no
breaking
the
rules,
and
definitely
no
sex.
Torn
between
Promises
One
and
Three,
Shelby
makes
a
decision
--
to
exploit
a
loophole
and
lose
her
virginity
before
taking
the
vow.
But
somewhere
between
failed
hookup
attempts
and
helping
her
dad
plan
the
ball,
Shelby
starts
to
understand
what
her
mother
really
meant,
what
her
father
really
needs,
and
who
really
has
the
right
to
her
purity.
