A summer of service in Thailand

Chloe’s long-awaited mission trip brings together practical service at an orphanage, the demands of living alongside a group of teens, and the experience of encountering another culture. As the children’s stories affect her, an unexpected connection also shifts her attention toward the needs of people closer to home. The novel frames service not only as work done far away, but as a question of where care and responsibility are needed in Chloe’s life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about faith and service.
  • Readers curious about a young person’s mission-trip experience in Thailand.
  • Those who enjoy coming-of-age fiction involving friendship, cultural encounters, and community.

Book overview

Sixteen-year-old Chloe Gabriels has dreamed of going on an overseas mission trip for as long as she can remember, so when the opportunity arises for her to go to Thailand with Teen Missions International she jumps at the chance. Working at an orphanage, learning new skills, experiencing a different culture, making lifelong friends-what better way could there be to spend her summer vacation?

 

Of course, the trip will have its challenges-living in close quarters with seventeen other teens out of their comfort zones has a way of doing that-but it will be worth it. She'll finally be serving God in a practical way.

 

But while the orphans and their stories break her heart, it's someone unexpected who has the biggest impact on Chloe's summer and leaves her wondering if maybe there are just as many people who need her love back home as there are overseas.
