This is a sequel that I have been looking forward to ever since reading the first book, My Refuge. My Way, the second book in the Follow in the Dark series by Ashley Al Saliby, picks up from the last book and grants us a further look at the lives of four young Christian women around the world and what they're facing.
Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
Book Synopsis
For four modern girls in vastly different settings, the Sermon on the Mount is about to get uncomfortably relevant.
The sequel to "My Refuge" is the second in the Follow in the Dark series, a set of YA Christian contemporary novels that trace the stories of four 15 year old girls navigating circumstances they wish they could change in Texas, Ukraine, Toronto and the largest refugee camp in the world: Zaatari.
"As their stories continue, the lives of Eden, Katya, Mei and Zahra will shift. Circumstances will change. New challenges will arise. One of them will find herself betrayed by someone she thought she could trust. Another will begin to question what she thought she knew. One of them will come face to face with her greatest fear, and one will discover that starting over is harder than she would have imagined.
Their journeys prompt the question: How do we know what we really believe – by the truths we assent to, or by the choices we make?"

Book Thoughts
What a joy to continue walking alongside Eden, Katya, Zahra, and Mei as they grow in their Christian faith and better understand what it means to be disciples of Jesus Christ. These lovely young women are so dear as they navigate the pressures of growing up in very different contexts. At the same time, I love that their journeys converge based on shared commonalities such as experiencing loneliness, fear, and uncertainty. Together, they embody what faithfulness can look like, no matter where we are in life.
I am so grateful that I've been able to get to know these four young women and their stories ranging from Canada and the US to London and a refugee camp. Ashley Al Saliby clearly loves writing about the hope and life we can find in Jesus, and it is my sincere prayer that her books will bless those of the next generation growing up. Her vision of using these fictional books to impart truth is a fantastic way to encourage deeper discussion. Anyone working with young women or who have daughters of this age will benefit greatly from both My Refuge and its continuation in My Way.
