This story and its sequel are based on a dream I had about eight years ago. I obsessed over it until everything made sense. Then I had to learn how to write, and since I was a big chicken about letting anyone read my stuff for the longest, it took awhile.

I'm very passionate about this story as I feel that there aren't enough books in the Christian Fiction genre with characters that come across as real people, struggling with all the same true-to-life issues that the rest of us do. I wanted to tell a story about a good kid, who struggles and falls, but gets back up and presses on. The beauty of this story is in the 'how'. And I hope it leaves the reader feeling hopeful in the knolwedge that "In all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. The sequel's title is "In All Things" and it carries on the same theme at a different stage in life.
