Only You Sierra - Sj#1 - Sierra Jensen Series

I highly recommend this series if you enjoyed the Christy Millier series! They are from the same universe!

"Only You, Sierra" picks up where "A Promise is Forever," the last book in the Christy Miller series, left off. Readers of that series will enjoy finding out more about the characters they know and love, but the Christy Miller books are not a prerequisite for this book. Sierra is a compelling character and this book can certainly stand on its own.When Sierra returns from a life-changing missions trip in Europe, she feels mature, godly, and confident. In the airport in London, and later on her flight back to Portland, Sierra encounters Paul, a young man who she feels a strong connection to. Her direct manner fascinates him; at the same time, she pricks his conscience. They both will remember this meeting for a long time.When Sierra arrives "home," it's not to the home she left, as her family moved in with her beloved grandmother while she was in Europe. Suddenly, Sierra has to deal with a new city, new school, and her Granna Mae's failing mind. For the first time in her life, she is the outsider, and she retreats into herself while she tries to figure out how to deal with it.Fortunately, God has not left Sierra alone, and she learns to lean more on Him in times of uncertainty.This book is the first in a series of twelve, which will appeal most to teen- and pre-teen-aged girls. If you don't fall into that category, though, don't let that stop you. We can all benefit from Robin Jones Gunn's gentle way of revealing God's love.

In this book, Sierra Jenson is heading back to the US after a missionary trip in Europe. Only she's not going back to Texas. While she was in Europe her family moved to Oregon to live with her Granna Mae, who is old and needs care. On the way back to America, Sierra meets another American : a boy that amazingly has connections to other people in her life. Even after they part, Sierra can't get her mind off Paul. She has given him some advice that she doubts he'd take, but all she can do is pray for this mysterious boy. After arriving in Oregon, Sierra has a hard time adjusting to her new life. Her family has had time to get settled, but they expect Sierra to adapt right away to her new circumstances. She dislikes the school she's going to and has difficulty dealing with her grandmother's memory lapses. And she stilll can't keep her mind off of Paul. Then Sierra tries to sort out her life. She tries harder to adjust to school, her grandmother's mind starts to get a bit better, and then she receive a very interesting letter... This is one of the best books I've ever read. It kept me laughing and also encouraged me. If you read only one fictional book this year, make it this one!

Sierra returns to a new home in Portland after a missions trip in England.

This book is great. It tells how Christy, Katie, Doug, and Sierra's missions trip ends. Its especially wonderful becuz it sorta starts where a promise is forever left off, except this book is more sierra focused. i still love this book, and i love the whole sierra jensen series. They are ALL must reads!
