Summer Promise

Book 1 in the Christy Miller Series

Robin Jones Gunn

About Summer Promise

The first book in the Christy Miller series from Christy Award-winner Robin Jones Gunn

When 14-year-old Christy leaves her family's Wisconsin farm to spend the summer at her wealthy aunt and uncle's beach home in Newport, she expects the it to be the best summer of her life. She's full of hope that surfer Todd will like her; the beach crowd will accept her; and she can become like her gorgeous new friend, Alissa.

But the summer doesn't unfold as Christy hoped, and she discovers this season also holds heartache. Todd wavers between Christy and another girl; 16-year-old Shawn dies in a drug-related surfing accident--and the police want to know how Christy was involved; and Alissa discloses that her sophistication hides a painful past.

Through it all, will Christy keep her promise to her parents not to do anything she'll regret? Or will she do anything to get Todd, to be accepted, to force her summer to give her everything it promised?

Praise

Here’s What Readers Are Saying about the Christy Miller series…

“I wish I could find the words to tell you what a blessing your books have been! I’ve learned a lot from Christy’s
character, and Todd makes me want to wait for a hero!  Please keep writing!”

“Before I finished the first chapter of Summer Promise I was hooked. I had always called myself a Christian, but it
wasn’t until your books that I really knew what it meant to lay down my life to Jesus Christ. You would not believe
what a difference God has made in my life already. Thank you!”

“If people ever tell me that being a Christian is boring, I tell them to go read your books! They helped me to start
living for God and to look to my Bible for answers to everything.”

“I read the Christy Miller books during a really stressful time, and they were like a calm in the storm. I have
learned so much from them, too! When Doug told Christy that godliness is beautiful, it was an entirely new
concept to me! I will not hesitate in saying these books changed my life.”

“My best friend and I have been reading your books since we were twelve years old. We love them! They have brought
us closer to the Lord, and we treasure this more than anything in the world.”

“I had to read a book for school, and I chose Summer Promise. I never knew it would change my life. I’ve read the
series at least six times. I now have a personal relationship with Christ. Thank you for being obedient to God.”
“When I was in sixth grade, my mom gave me the first Christy Miller book. These books changed my life! Please, don’t stop writing until your hand falls off!”

“I’m thirteen years old, and I love your books! All my friends are reading your books, too. We wish they were movies.”

“I absolutely love your books. You are my favorite author. After I read the first one, I immediately became a
Christian and turned my life over to God. I have struggled some, but your books helped me to stay on track. I thank
you from the bottom of my heart for writing them.”

“I wanted to thank you for all the books you have written. They have been my joy when things are hard. Every book
has been amazing.”
