BOOK LOOK JULY/AUGUST 2017<br />

She eventually does break up with him, but it is really hard. Christy, Todd, Katie, and<br />

Doug take a trip to Disneyland, where Katie has a huge meltdown before beginning to<br />

recover. One morning, while Christy is at her aunt and uncle’s house, Todd tells her<br />

that he has received an offer to be a short-term missionary (for three or four years),<br />

but he has decided not to accept because he is too close to her to want to leave. Christy<br />

is glad, but has no peace about it, and so the next day, she tells Todd that he needs to<br />

go.<br />

She gives him back the ID bracelet he gave her three years earlier, but he promises that<br />

if God ever brings them back again, he’ll give it back, and that time, it’s never coming<br />

off again. Christy is an emotional wreck, but she knows she is doing the right thing, like<br />

Katie did earlier.<br />

The third book jumps ahead to Christmas break of her freshman year of college.<br />

Christy, Doug, Katie, and another friend, Tracy are traveling to England to take part in<br />

a missions trip program. Christy and Doug date for a little bit but realize that they<br />

don't like each other in that way so they break up. Although Christy knows she did the<br />

right thing, she suffers from loneliness, knowing that for the first time in a long time,<br />

there is no guy in her life that is interested in her.<br />

Then she gets asked to go to Barcelona, Spain, instead of Belfast, because they need a<br />

children’s worker there. Christy knows Spanish, and is the most qualified person to go,<br />

and she accepts. In the long train ride, she spends a lot of time in the Bible, and<br />

becomes closer to God than she has been in a long time. When she reaches her<br />

destination, she is faced with a huge surprise, showing her that God is still in charge of<br />

her life, and he always gives good gifts.<br />

To find out what happens, you’ll have to read the series yourself!
