ABOUT THE AUTHOR:




Dee Henderson is the bestselling, award-winning author of 15 previous novels, including the acclaimed O'MALLEY series and UNCOMMON HEROES series. These days, most authors are out there energetically promoting their books in print and broadcast and via social media—wherever they can get attention. But Dee Henderson keeps a low profile. She avoids telephone interviews because of hearing problems, declined to provide a current photo, and will say only that she lives in Illinois.



 ABOUT THE BOOK









It's a summer of change for Jennifer O'Malley. The busy physician has a pediatrics practice in Dallas, and meeting Tom Peterson, and falling in love, is adding a rich layer to her life. She's sorting out how to introduce him to her family--she's the youngest of seven--and thinking about marriage.




She's falling in love with Jesus too, and knows God is good. But that faith is about to be tested in a way she didn't expect, and the results will soon transform her entire family.

MY THOUGHTS:

LOVE THIS! I read the O'Malley series back in early 2000. I read every. single one. and then I shared and shared them with friends, family, and anyone who I thought would enjoy them. I still share them today with my kids friends and they love them just like I did all those years ago. Needless to say, when I saw Dee Henderson wrote a novella about Jennifer I was thrilled to say the least. Jennifer was in most if not all the books but she never had "her own" book. Guess she has been driving Dee crazy until she finally gave in... JK ;)

Just like every O'Malley book I've read I couldn't put it down and since this was a novella I finished it in an afternoon and loved it! Honestly, I haven't met anyone who doesn't love the O'Malley series so if you haven't read them, I would highly encourage you do! If you know any mid-high kids who love to read this is a GREAT series for them to read, and know, they are reading great clean books!!
