Book One: Summer Promise
Page 22: "Take control of your destiny...Plan your goals and then go after them. Force yourself to be the one in control...It's the only way you're going to make it."
Page 30: "...God is all around and part of everything, you can worship Him wherever you are. You don't have to [only] go to church for that."
Page 67: "Promises can change your life, you know. Most people don't realize it, but a promise can last a forever."
Page 71: ""But he's my best friend! I can't just let it go like I don't care! You've never understood that about me... I stick up for my friends, even when they're being jerks."
Page 93: "Why do I have such a hard time making simple decisions? Why do I always lose my confidence at key moments and act like a total idiot? Does [he] notice my insecurities?..."
Page 163: "But inside she knew she was different. Not wildly emotional or anything, just clean. Secure. Happy."
Book Two: A Whisper and a Wish
Page 197: ""I heard this lady talk about how you could spend your whole life in the 'Lady of If Only' by always looking back and saying, 'If only I'd done this' or 'If only I hadn't done that.' It can really mess you up if you're always wishing things were different than they are. She said that when things happen to you that you don't understand, you have to believe God is still in control and nothing happens by mistake.""
Page 199: "..Sometimes I think dating is a strange way of looking at things. It's so much more fun being friends with a bunch of people and all going places together."
Page 228: "...My life was a mess. It still is--I mean my family is all messed up. But I don't feel all that agony inside anymore. I feel as though I'm part of God's family."
Page 258: "Bad friends could ruin your whole life. Be wise when it comes to choosing your friends. You set the standard. You be the one who stands strong."
Page 274: "I'd like to be more like Tracy...She thinks about her friends and their needs more than she thinks of herself."
