This was my first Jenny B. Jones novel and after reading In Between it won't be my last. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the Katie Parker series.
Ms. Jones has a great teen ‘voice’ in Katie, a foster child with a mother who is currently serving in prison and who has never taken good care of her. She is sent to live with a pastor and his wife who have a grown daughter. The sarcastic tone of the book fits for a character like Katie. It makes her approachable and you feel that her personality has been etched out as a coping mechanism due to her heartbreaking circumstances. There are some plot threads left unanswered by the end of the book but it is a series and I’m sure more will be revealed in the subsequent novels. It’s a sweet, feel good Christian novel and at times it is laugh out loud funny. Great characters, interesting plot and themes that will speak to all ages. Highly recommended.
It's currently FREE on Amazon
