Background

Rue was raised in Jacksonville, Florida, and later attended Stetson University, the College of William and Mary, and the University of Nevada. Rue has stated that one of the reasons she started writing novels for tween girls is to help both the girls and their mothers more easily discuss body and social issues,[3] citing difficulty talking to her own mother about sex and other issues.[4]

Awards

Her novel The Reluctant Prophet won a 2011 Christy Award for "Contemporary Series"[5] and is a finalist in the Fiction category of the 2012 Christian Book Awards, to be presented by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association.[6] Romantic Times awarded Antonia's Choice the 2003 Best Inspirational Novel.[7]
