"People often measure good books by us not wanting to put them down, while this series certainly accomplishes that...my standard of a good book is met only when I have to force myself to slow down or I'll miss the excellent writing that is weaving the compelling storyline. Much akin to hiking to the summit only to have missed the breathtaking Vistas along the way. Don't rush through this book to see how it ends and miss the talent Ms. Hale has for creating imagery, situations, and characters that allow you to experience the story and not just read it."

As their rehearsals begin, Destiny realizes the unimaginable: Isaac has developed deep feelings for her despite their religious differences and the fact that he has a girlfriend.
But will they be able to find their place amongst the backbiters of their ultra-conservative world?
Weaving around Destiny and Isaac's alternating viewpoints, Destiny is the first book in a series inspired by the characters of Les Misérables and explores heartbreak, self-discovery, intolerance, and love.

“Religion is a touchy subject for everyone, and the most common protocol is to simply keep your mouth shut about it, so to read a YA that is highly focused on religion is a refreshing change.”

“A delightful read. I flew through the pages, putting aside other books I was reading at the time, as I was drawn into Destiny Clark's world and her teenage troubles.”

“The heart of the story is the romance, but religion and faith come in as close seconds. Cindy Hale writes both Baptists and Mormons sympathetically, portraying both as people with strong beliefs. She doesn’t preach religion but allows her characters to feel faith and express it in a way that gives them depth. There are antagonists in both religions and good people in both religions. In the end, religion is deeply important to her characters, and both Destiny and Isaac must discover what they believe and find a way to be together despite their differences.”
