Sammy is worried. Her best friend Amanda is thinking about having sex with her boyfriend. Sammy knows this isn't what God wants for Amanda. It would be all wrong. But as Sammy thinks about life, the future and what God wants for Amanda and for her...she wonders whether she has got it all wrong. Being a Christian is getting really difficult as Sammy has to stand up for her beliefs when the whole school turns against her. Recommended for ages 9 to 13.

Tell us a little about yourself. I'm a Christian author of 8 books to date, one
won the CBC Gold Award for Published Childrens
Books 1998. I live quietly in England and love
the countryside. I edit books and write.
What was your motivation behind this project? As I said, my influence and motivation was to
hopefully encourage young girls to be able to
look at important issues like sex and see how
important these issues are to God... and to
follow him.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope they'll be challenged to look to Jesus
for advice on how to live the best life, and to
resist the kind of peer pressure that will lead
them down a path that could end in pain.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? For this book, I guess I was influenced to show
young people, young girls in particular, how
important it is to say no when being pressed
into wrong action.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I have written a novel for adults and older
teens, Watchers, published by Authentic
Lifestyle. This futuristic book deals with a
whole range of issues including the 'youth and
beauty' culture.
