Sharon Dever on the New Young-Adult Literature
“Eighteen,” the girl crooned.
“I thought you said you were a junior?”
“So I flunked.”
Wet kisses and lots of heavy breathing followed. Except for Fran’s heavy breathing, the car was silent.
“Have you done this before?” Coach Sager muttered.
“Yeah, this afternoon.”
“With who?”
“Some jerk on your team.”
. . . Clothes rustled and stretched through the car’s speakers. Zippers slowly pulled down. This was soo bitchin’!
“Let me do that.” The girl sighed. “Oh, that’s nice. Oh, I like that.”
Sharon Dever is a homeschooling mother of two living in Austin, Texas.

"There are magazines worth reading but few worth saving . . . Touchstone is just such a magazine."
—Alice von Hildebrand"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
