About the Author

Jenny B. Jones is the author of A Katie Parker Production series. The other books in the series are In Between (which was just named as a finalist for a 2008 Christy Award) and On The Loose. Though now an adult, she still relates to the trauma and drama of teen life. She is thrilled to see her writing dreams come true, as her previous claim to fame was singing the Star Spangled Banner at a mule-jumping championship. (The mules were greatly inspired.)

Jenny resides in Arkansas, where, as a teacher, she hangs out with teens on a regular basis.







About the Book:

Sometimes there’s a fine line between comedy and tragedy—and Katie Parker is walking it.

Just as school winds down for the summer, Katie comes home to find a big surprise on the Scotts’ front porch—her mother. Bobbie Ann Parker, newly released and reformed, has come to reclaim her daughter and start fresh in a town far from her foster family. Katie is forced to walk away from In Between, leaving behind a family who loves her, a town drive-in to save, and a boyfriend who suddenly can’t take his eyes off his ex. When the life her mother promised begins to sink faster than one of Maxine’s stuffed bras, Katie knows she needs to rely on God to keep it together. But where is he in all this? Can Katie survive a chaotic life with her mother—and one without the Scotts? And if God is there, will he come through before it’s too late?

A Katie Parker Production series offers teen girls real-world fiction balanced by hope and humor. The The Big Picture helps us realize that the difficult chapters in our journey are only part of God's big story for our lives.
