as picture perfect as she thinks!
Christy Miller knows a good friend when she meets her,
and so will you--Sierra Jensen is at it again!
Open Your Heart
What an adventure! Having Christy Miller invite Sierra on an
all-expenses-paid trip to Europe was amazing--but that was just the
beginning. Sierra never imagined she'd meet someone like Alex, a
dark-eyed Russian college student who's a Christian. Or that they'd all
come face-to-face with disaster. Through it all, one question haunts
Sierra: c an she learn to love others without expecting anything in
return? Will she finally be able to open her heart to others--and to
God?
Time Will Tell
Sierra's senior year of high school is here, but after the great summer
she just had, how can it be anything but a letdown? Sure enough, the
year tanks big-time when the school issues her buddy Randy an ultimatum.
Stuck in the middle--Sierra wonders, what's right? Her friend or the
rules? She longs to talk it over with Amy, but Sierra's best friend
still isn't talking to her. What's worse, she hasn't heard a word from
Paul! No doubt about it, this school year is totally frustrating! Will
Sierra ever understand her friendships or God's plans for them?
Now Picture This
Why can't everyone just leave Sierra alone? All she wants to do is
find a place to read the letter she just received from Paul--to soak in
every word and memorize the photo he sent her--but Thanksgiving at the
Jensen house means relatives everywhere! Sierra hides out, immersed in
her ideas for Paul's birthday and Christmas gifts, especially his
requested gift: a photo of her. Sierra's determined--the photo has to be
spectacular! But a small voice of doubt nags at her. What does God think
of her ignoring her family and friends this way? Is her picture-perfect
relationship with Paul really all she thinks it is?
Story Behind the Book
"After writing the twelve-book Christy Miller series for teens, a new
character showed up on the pages of the final novel. Her name was Sierra
Jensen, and she was so compelling as a teenage character that readers
began asking for a series about Sierra in order to hear more about her
life choices. Our family had just moved to Portland at the time, and I
found it easy to picture a sixteen-year-old like Sierra shopping at the
local vintage clothing stores, hanging out with friends at a garage band
concert, and serving at the homeless shelter on weekends."
