Story Behind the Book
The Christy Miller series was actually born when a group of thirteen-year-olds challenged me to write a novel. Id been questioning the content of their favorite books when they said, Why dont you write a book for us? I told them no, I only wrote picture books. But they persisted: How hard could it be? Well even tell you what to write! We want a love story with teenagers at the beach. And there you go. Summer Promise first released seventeen years ago and is now translated into five languages. I continue to hear from readers all over the world, many girls saying that they gave their life to Christ after reading Summer Promise. I love that!
