Try these:
She said yes: the unlikely martyrdom of Cassie
Bernall/Misty Bernall
The martyr's touch/Bruce Porter (includes entries from
Rachel Scott's journal)
Jesus freaks/DC Talk
A much older, but sorta classic Christian biography is
Surprised by joy: the shape of my early life/C.S. Lewis
HTH!

Marie Killilea, author of "Karen" and "With Love From Karen" (the story of
her daughter, who had cerebral palsy), was a Catholic.
Though the focus is not a teen, Dale Evans Rogers's "Angel Unawares" is very
definitely Christian in its slant.
