ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Robin Jones Gunn has a passion for communicating God's love to young hearts. She began writing story books for toddlers when her children were little. Her husband, Ross, has been a youth minister for over twenty years. While on a camping trip with teens from their youth group, Robin found some of the girls hiding away in their tent reading a stack of novels they'd brought with them from the library.

Curious as to what could keep these girls away from the sun, surf and guys, Robin borrowed three of their books. As she read them, her heart broke. They were not the kinds of stories these girls should be reading! After the camping trip Robin went to her Bible bookstore and bought every book she could find that she thought would be interesting for the girls and have a good influence on them. The teens read all the books in a week and asked for more. "There aren't any more," Robin told them. "That was all I could find." The teens challenged Robin by saying, "Then you write some for us. We'll even tell you what to write!"

She has now written over 50 books, including THE CHRISTY MILLER SERIES, which has sold more than one million copies. A storyteller at heart, she is also a popular speaker and an active youth worker. Robin lives with her family in Oregon.

MY THOUGHTS:
I had not, and probably will not, read the FIRST Christy Miller series. I have read a few of the books - so I knew the characters well enough, to jump back into the story, in the college years and still understand what was happening. Though, I think that even if you haven't read ANY of the books about ANY of the characters, you would've been able to jump right in and read.
I really liked this series. The first book was the one that I didn't enjoy as much as the other two. It seemed more boring, I guess. It was mostly traveling, but it was still a good book.
Robin Jones Gunn has a way of writing, that makes you want to keep reading until the end, to know exactly what is going to happen, when.
The characters are VERY believable, living a life that is also very believable. They're in college, with those hard choices that come with being in college.
All in all, this series is good, and I would recommend it to anyone who has or hasn't read anything about these characters in the past.
