This Girl Named Amber: Seeking Heart Teen Series, Book One

With her sixteenth birthday just three weeks away, Amber Wilson is looking forward to spending one of the last weeks of the summer at Camp Laughing Water, a place she's been to many times before. But from the beginning she has the feeling the week will be anything but ordinary.

For one thing, her friend Stacey is coming for the first time, and while she's excited to have her longtime friend along, she wonders if this can be a chance for them to recapture the carefree friendship they once shared, or if spending seven days straight together will drive them further apart. Will Stacey enjoy the week and open her heart to God as Amber has been praying for, or will her efforts to show Stacey she cares turn into a complete disaster?

In the midst of trying to be a good friend, dealing with some unpleasant girls in her cabin, and doing her best to get something spiritual out of the week for herself, Amber faces many unexpected moments, including some encounters with a cute guy. Some make her laugh, some make her cry, and some leave her feeling completely dazed. Will she end the week with heartbreak or with a smile on her face and hope in her heart?

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future...You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11 & 13)
