Over her head

by Gail Gaymer Martin (2002)

About this book

A high school social studies teacher, Lana West feels comfortable with her well-ordered plans. They include a summer filled with relaxation, redecorating her home, and absolutely no unnecessary contact with teenagers. That is until her new neighbor Mark Branson bursts on the scene. The enthusiastic youth director cajoles and manipulates Lana into activities she'd rather avoid - everything from bowling, to horseback riding, to camp counseling - and they all involve spending time with dozens of vacationing high school students. Will Mark and Lana allow God to take control of their lives and the lives of those around them, or will their insistence upon being in control leave them both in over their heads.
