ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xlibris, the leading print-on-demand self-publishing services provider, announces today the release of I Was Killed by My Best Friend: A Story of My Death to Sin and My Life in Christ, a new book about faith and struggles in life, authored by Alice Leszek.

I Was Killed by My Best Friend tells the engaging story of a girl no different from any girl growing up in America. She lives in Africa blessed with a loving family, but soon her life becomes nothing like what most girls here have to encounter. She goes through stressful times as war becomes a looming threat and causes financial loss and periodic separation from loved ones; gossip leads to mistrust and broken hearts; and HIV/AIDS becomes a source of confusion and fear. An antiquated system of marriage leads to homelessness and total loneliness. A reconciled friendship leads to temporary comfort, but at a terrible cost. With all of these trials and tribulations, she relies on her belief in God to survive. This book also contains countless articles that deal with Christian living, mankind's purpose in life, and more.
