What he doesn't bargain for is teammates. As he shares his summer with an uncles who knows too many of his secrets, a guy who’s grieving, a seminary student, and a girl who instantly dislikes him, he decides being home might not be so bad.
But Matt is lost, and God wants him found, so his summer is anything but ordinary as he opens up to new friends and a new relationship with God. The hardest part of the summer, though, is that eventually it will be over, and he wonders how to take everything he's learned and fit it into his old life. Maybe God wants more from Matt than just one summer... Christian teen fiction/ Christian new adult. For teens or anyone young at heart.
Jill Penrod got her writing degree years ago with top honors, writing a novel as her senior project instead of the short stories she'd been assigned, and she's been writing novels ever since. She is author of the Christian teen series Boys of Summer, its companion series Girls Aglow, and the Christian romance/Christian fantasy series Tales of Balia.
Jill is also a homeschool mom of nearly-grown children, pet mom to dogs and cats, and is an artist who teaches pottery in her spare time. She has bounced around the Midwest her whole life and would love to live on a coast or in the mountains one day.
