A summer of choices before college

With New York fashion-design studies on the horizon, Chelsea hopes to make her final summer in North Carolina count. Her work as lead designer for a summer theater production gives the season a clear anchor, but new attractions and strained relationships begin to pull her away from the plans she made. As parties and rule-breaking affect her work, friendships, family ties, and connection with God, the story places questions of independence alongside faith and responsibility. The theater setting and approaching move to college frame a coming-of-age story about weighing immediate excitement against the commitments that matter to Chelsea.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Christian relationship fiction.
  • Readers drawn to coming-of-age stories about friendships, family tensions, and choices before college.

Book overview

Chelsea Morris has always been responsible, dependable, and focused on her dreams of fashion design--a dream that will officially begin come fall, when she leaves for college in New York City. And as she settles into her role as the lead designer for the local summer stock theater group, she decides to make the most of her last summer in North Carolina. But with her best friend Emily busy working late and spending time with Zander, and tensions with Chelsea's boyfriend, Todd, running high, the summer she envisioned seems to be falling flat.

Then Dylan joins the latest summer production. There's something about the college boy that makes her feel free and alive, and soon she's broken up with Todd, and is sneaking out late to meet Dylan at parties and breaking rules at the playhouse. But before she knows it, her exciting nights are interfering with her job, her role on the play, as well as her relationship with Emily and with her parents. Worse, Chelsea finds herself feeling more and more estranged from God.

As the summer becomes wilder than she ever dreamed, Chelsea must decide if her heart is leading her in the right direction after all.
