Yay for another Top Five Wednesday. This week’s topic is books that deal with hard topics. This was another good one for me because I once again broke the rules. I came up with six books instead of the five EVERYONE else does. Whoops.

But as we all know, books can be avenues to address just about any topic we can think of. And the books I mention today (in my opinion) all do a great job of hitting on some really important topics. Sex. Drug use. War. Racism. Mental illness. Family. Faith. Religious persecution.

All topics addressed by the handful of books (+1) I talk about today.

What are some books you’ve read that address “hard” topics?
