Caitlin O'Conner's life is full of unexpected surprises. At seventeen, she's about to discover that not everything in life has a candy coating. Then a mission trip to Mexico rocks her worlds as she gives up a little bit of time and love to help make things easier for those less fortunate. Yup. Life is full of surprises--friends struggling with terrible secrets, temptations Caitlin never would have imagined, and challenges to her newfound faith. While Caitlin may not know exactly who she is yet, she definitely found a purpose--lending a hand to those who need it and taking care of her friends and family.

Come laugh, cry, smile and learn what life really is like for Caitlin and her friends. You just may discover, like Caitlin does, that even through you can't see the future, you're doing okay if you on the right path. 245 pages. Recommended for ages 14 and up.

In this emotional sequel to Diary of a Teenage Girl, Caitlin O'Conner faces new trials as she grows in her faith and strives to maintain the recent commitments she's made to God. As a new believer, Caitlin begins her summer job and makes preparations for a Mexico mission trip with her church youth group. Torn between new spiritual directions and loyalty to Beanie, her best friend (now pregnant), Caitlin searches out her personal values on friendship, romance, dating, life goals, and key relationships with God and family. Tough choices threaten her progress, and her year climaxes in her realization that maturity sometimes means life-impacting decisions must be made ... by faith alone.
