<\/a> Jenny B. Jones is the author of A Katie Parker Production series. The other books in the series are In Between<\/a> and On The Loose<\/a>. 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. <\/strong><\/p>\nABOUT THE BOOK<\/strong> A Katie Parker Production series offers teen girls real-world fiction balanced by hope and humor. The The Big Picture<\/a> helps us realize that the difficult chapters in our journey are only part of God’s big story for our lives.<\/p>\n You can read the first chapter HERE<\/a><\/p>\n “A heroine to love. Jones just gets better with every book, and The Big Picture is her best one yet.” “Such inspiration in a package of fun and faith!” MY REVIEW: <\/strong> In The Big Picture<\/a> Katie has finally found her place in life, a place where people love and support her, good friends, and normalcy. When her mother comes back into her life and takes her away from everything she has come to depend on, Katie must rely on God to help her cope. <\/a><\/p>\n The Big Picture<\/a> tells Katie’s story beautifully with all the humor and angst that can be so much a part of a teen’s life. The story is honest contrasting Katie’s life with her addicted mother with the care and support of Katie’s Christian friends. Even though everything is not all tied up with pretty ribbons (and when is life ever that way?), God’s love and intervention are evident. I would recommend The Big Picture<\/a> for teens and young adults.<\/p>\n Jenny can be reached through the Contact link on her Website<\/a><\/p>\n And here’s the complete list of everyone posting for The Big Picture on this tour!

<\/a>Sometimes there\u2019s a fine line between comedy and tragedy\u2014and Katie Parker is walking it.
\n<\/strong>
\nSchool is winding down for the summer but Katie Parker is having a bad day. After leaving the drive-in, where her imploding love life was the main attraction, Katie arrives home to a big surprise on the Scott’s front porch.Her mother, Bobbie Ann Parker, a former convict and recovering addict, wants to take Katie away from her family, friends, and church. Now Katie’s life will be changed by a series of dramatic choices as she struggles to understand what family and home really means.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\u2019t take his eyes off his ex. When the life her mother promised begins to sink faster than one of Maxine\u2019s 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\u2014and one without the Scotts? And if God is there, will he come through before it\u2019s too late?<\/p>\n
