There’s More To The Story:
Did you know that Josie and Ryan’s adventure continues through other stories?
They make brief appearances in the other Finding Faith books, Charting the Course and In Plain Sight.
And, in case you weren’t aware, I have combined the characters from my award-winning YA mysteries, The Perfect Blindside and Into the Spotlight (formerly An Unexpected Role), in several short stories.
For those who are curious, here is the chronological order of all the stories:
- One Blessing at a Time – the winter of the characters’ sophomore year of high school
- Into the Spotlight – the summer between their sophomore and junior years
- The Perfect Blindside – the fall of their junior year of high school
- More Precious Than Gold – the summer between their junior and senior years
- Unlikely Witnesses – the summer between their junior and senior years
- The Master Plan – the spring of their senior year of high school
Fun Facts
- The jellyfish scene was inspired by an actual event from one of our family vacations.
- Most of the plays and musicals Josie references were ones either I or my kids were in.
- Josie is from Minnesota as a tribute to beautiful Rochester MN where we lived for a while.
- One of the characters is related to a character in The Perfect Blindside – can you guess who?
