Overview The Betwixt Series is almost a primer on how parents can fail no matter which road they take.

Both teens are wanderers in life with no confidence in themselves or belief in anything. This, of course, is the focus of much Christian fiction and Melissa Pearl handles it very well without being heavyhanded. The series also exemplifies the idea that we must hit rock bottom before we can truly heal from our own misguided and self-destructive behavior.

Certainly Nicole and Dale are both on the verge of death when they begin to understand what really matters and, in doing so, reach a point at which each just might have a chance to survive with grace.
