True Believer, by Virginia Euwer Wolff (Young Adult)
In Make Lemonade, the problems that LaVaughn encountered were not in her life but in that of a disadvantaged family she is involved with. In this sequel her problems as a fifteen year old come close to home. Religion begins to separate her from her friends. Her Mother, the rock in her life, is attracted and distracted by a new man in her life. An old childhood friend returns in a gorgeous new body and face and the friendship changes, for her, to love. All the hard work and dedication that she has applied to school could slip away as her life goes through rocky times. Reintroduced is the family that LaVaughn had babysat for in the previous book.
Hesse writes this book in blank verse like Out of the Dust.
