Knowing Jake: Boys of Summer, #9

By Jill Penrod

Jake Branigan is the pastor’s kid, and everyone thinks they know him.  What they don’t know is how tired he is of his boring, normal, predictable, respectable life.  Even living in an apartment with friends Stephen and Matt doesn’t help with the feeling that he’s missing something.

However, Jake’s dad is about to misstep, and the pastor’s kid has to figure out what to do once his dad is no longer a pastor.  Follow Jake on a journey of discovery as he deals with work, friends, girls, and a new quest for purpose once his old world is stripped away.  From an old man to an old house to a possum skeleton, God has a lot of lessons to throw at Jake to teach him about his real identity.

Knowing Jake is book nine in the Boys of Summer series, Christian romance and drama for teens and the young at heart.

Jill Penrod

Jill Penrod wrote her first novel in high school. It was a space opera (she watched Star Wars A LOT), and it was not great literature. But she persevered, graduating college with top honors in writing. Since then, she’s published more than thirty novels. By the end of 2016 she will have six series available in several genres, including Christian teen romance, sweet romance, and Christian fantasy stories. None of them are space operas. Jill lives in Kentucky with her husband and high school son. She has three adult children out there doing adult things like work and marriage. When she isn’t writing, she teaches her son at home, does pottery, and spoils her long-haired Chihuahua Sparrow. Recently she fulfilled her dream of moving to the country, although it has yet to be seen if this city mouse can become a country mouse or not.
