Author Description

"You asked about anything interesting," Kelly writes to David. "Well, there's plenty going on around here." For Kelly, some of what's going on is puzzling, like the mysterious flights being made by an odd little plane called a Wren. And some things are frightening, like the criminal Marielitos whom her friend Ron won't even discuss. She hadn't wanted to move to New Jersey, anyway, and now she is beginning to wonder whether God really loves her. Why did He have to take her away from David? And how is He ever going to work all this out? - Back cover. Kelly Jonson, whom readers met in The Stolen Years, has been a Christian for only a few months. She has continued to grow closer to the Lord through her friendship with Nannette, an elderly French lady, and Dave Durant, whom she met at Nanette's cottage. But Kelly's peaceful world falls apart when her father takes a job at an airport in New Jersey and decides that she must go with him. Upon arriving at her new home, she is dismayed at the peculiarities of her aunt and the two girls with whom she has to live, and she is worried about the alarming evetns that begin to occur in connection with her father's job. Besides the mysterious incidents at the airport, Kelly is troubled by the growing estrangement that she can sense between her unsaved parents. She suspects that her mother won't be joining them in New Jersey after all, and she feels betrayed when her father tries to hide what's happening. Her bitterness puts a distance between herself and God, causing her to doubt his love and her own salvation. The testimony of a godly man helps her to understand that she can know God and trust him better only as she talks to him and reads his Word. She turns to the Lord with her problems, and when the time comes for her to make an important choice, she finds a true Friend and a solution to her dilemma. - Publisher's note.
