Author Description

What better place to get right with God than church camp? Until you're stuck all summer with the ex-boyfriend you committed your worst sins with. Upcoming college sophomore and aspiring journalist Emma Anderson is going back to her childhood summer camp, Blue Woods Christian Camp, as a camp counselor. She's set on getting right with God after breaking up with her long-term boyfriend Owen. But Emma's first day at camp starts with headline-worthy bad news: Owen's a camp counselor too. She's stuck with him all summer-the last person she needs to be around while trying to repent and regain purity. And Owen seems set on removing "ex" from "ex-boyfriend." When her high school crush and track star Javier becomes her twelfth grade co-counselor, Emma gets the idea that Javier can help put some distance between her and Owen-from sharing a canoe to not hooking up to the zip line course. (Heights? No, thank you.) Except the more time she spends with Javier, the more she starts dropping "high school" from "high school crush." Will Emma earn God's forgiveness before the summer ends? Or will she continue to choose her desires over God? A companion to the award-winning young adult contemporary novel Sleeping Around, following a teen girl's journey of religious deconstruction to self-love.
