No one gets me at all, except for Hester. And she’s not even real. She’s a woman from the 1800s, but she totally understands what it’s like to hide love. So, she’d understand why hiding text messages is super important. But, since my dad became a Christian and all, I have to be super careful. But my parents are hiding things too, like why my mom is riding the struggle bus while she’s expecting my baby brother or why dad is talking to the other woman at the office.

First, thank you so much for hosting me on the blog!! I’m so grateful. I would love for teen girls to walk away from reading Duets knowing that they are seen and loved. They are seen by God and loved by Him. There’s no need to search for attention or keep secrets the way Candy does in the story because everything that goes on in the dark comes out in the light, as Proverbs says.
Candy doesn’t necessarily adopt this feeling immediately because she’s human. She has a lot of feelings to figure out and I want girls to understand that God does give us grace, but we need to put our trust in Him.
The second POV character, Leslie, leans into that a little bit more because she also keeps hiding secrets, even as an adult and she struggles to trust God and His timing. Leslie’s POV exists to keep Candy innocent, but take a “screenshot” of what happens down the road when secrets and mistakes catch up to you. That’s such a loaded sentence because Leslie’s POV continues throughout the series and even though it seems as though Candy learned this lesson about keeping terrible secrets, her grandfather, grandmother, and even Leslie didn’t!
I would also want girls to know that moms and dads aren’t “supposed” to share everything. They are the grownups. In Leslie’s POV, Rob “sees” Leslie. He knows she’s struggling and he suggests that Candy learn more about their family history because of the circumstances. And I would hope that girls realize that Mom is a person too and doing life can be hard for her sometimes as well! I’d want girls to read Duets and grow closer to God and their families after reading this. Know that it's okay to ask questions, but be respectful. Stay curious, because there could be very interesting things to discover right under your nose! However, don’t be the one to hide the dark and dangerous. Candy definitely learned that she wanted true love when she grew up and didn’t want to keep anymore secrets, on her phone, computer, or anywhere else!
