Time Will Tell

“This is so frustrating. All I can do is wait. Wait for another chance to talk to Amy. Wait for Paul to write. Wait to see if Mom and Dad will include me in Tawni’s problem. Wait, wait, wait. I hate waiting.”

Book: Time Will Tell (The Sierra Jensen Series #8)by Robin Jones Gunn, Bethany House Publishers, 1998

 

Genre: Realistic Fiction

Summary: She’s back from her adventurous summer but she still can’t get together with Amy no matter how hard she tries. The grudge her friend has against her seems to be permanent. Sierra is determined to get through to her though. Then her older sister starts having some kind of difficulty and no one will tell her what’s going on. Then Randy gets an ultimatum from the school about his long hair and starts a discussion with them about it and Sierra has to wait to see what will happen to him. All the while she’s waiting, hoping to hear something from the guy she has held her in heart for so long. It seems as if everything in her life is on hold right now!

Notes: Sierra Jensen was introduced in the last book of the Christy Miller series and this is the one of twelve books about her story. Eighth in the Sierra Jensen series, Time Will Tell has Sierra feeling rather impatient. There are a lot of big issues going on in her life and she can’t do anything about a single one of them. She’s starting her senior year and God seems to be ready to start teaching her to wait on Him and stay faithful while she waits.
