It''s challenging enough to be a normal high school senior -- but Caitlin O''Conner has a host of new difficulties to deal with in the third book of Melody Carlson''s widely popular and fascinating teen series.

Time is critical to help the orphans in Mexico, missions-minded Caitlin believes, but Mom and Dad are set on her attending college. Meanwhile, her relationship with Josh takes on a serious tone via e-mail -- threatening her commitment to kiss dating goodbye.

When Beanie begins dating an African-American, Caitlin''s concern over dating seems to be misread as racism. One thing is obvious: God is at work through this dynamic girl in very real but puzzling ways. A soul-stretching time of racial reconciliation at school and within her church helps her discover God''s will as never before.
