    About this ebook

    Up until her senior year, Amber has been the model of perfection—just like her dad, Pastor Conrad, taught her to be. But when Claire Phillips invites her to more and more parties, Amber’s little white lies about her drinking spark a raging wildfire that threatens to overtake her life. Will she be honest with herself and her friends before things really get out of control? Burnt Orange, the fifth book in the teen fiction series TrueColors looks at alcohol abuse, addiction, and temptation.

      This is one of the most touching and powerful books I have ever read in my life. I recommend anyone read this book it will trully touch their lives.
    • 3/5
      Amber Conrad plays many roles. Daughter of the pastor of her church. Responsible high school student who gets good grades. Best friend to Simi Gartolini. Evangelistic teenager who witnesses to others. But lately, she’s taking on another new role—drinking party girl. It started off one day when she was invited to a party by Claire Phillips, a member of the “in” crowd. At that party Amber drinks part of a beer. She rationalizes it by thinking, “really what’s wrong with that? I mean, even Jesus drank wine with his friends. And wasn’t his first miracle turning water into wine?” Soon after, her life starts to spin wildly out of control. Sneaking drinks here and there, she is horrified to find herself driving under the influence, lying to friends and family, and using a fake I.D. to attend nightclubs. Her new friend Claire really needs her—she is the real alcoholic, drinking every day in every situation. Amber tells herself she is helping, but is Amber really being a good influence on Claire, or is Claire dragging Amber down? Events escalate until a horrible tragedy forces Claire to confront her own behavior.
