Adventure's Invitation by Cheri Swalwell
Book starts out with dedication page, list of characters.
Story starts out with Holly and her best friend and they are all going to participate in the church mission.
Everybody gets a job to do and her and Amber are a team. Guys have other jobs elsewhere but they all meet for meals.
Her boyfriend Mitch is also there and you find out they are waiting to be married, after she finishes high school at least.
Mitch had thrown his inhaler to her while playing on the field with the guys and girls are back to their job.
Several blame themselves for his untimely death.
She has an opportunity to move away after high school and start her young adult life, just a few hours from home. The church and all it stands for holds it together for her, the activities, missions, etc.
What I like about this story is that they have their plans laid out in front of them and never expect
Like the different age groups of the characters and how each deal with death and the church.
Choices/paths available and it's her decision which to follow.
Enjoyed the daily fun things, all things religion and how they are done in this community,
just how family helps others who are in need. Love hearing of things Mitch leaves for Holly and their special place, so peaceful and calming.
Many others help Holly overcome her situation but she has plans made and love chats she has with her mother knowing her so well she knows she's got a handle on things.
Love the choice she makes, date she goes on, her career and looking forward and taking the first step.
Loved hearing how decisions are made and she makes them seem so easy-a lot of others have her back.
Note from the author, except from next book in the series: Journey Back Home.
