Who Do You Ask When You Don�t Have the Answers? What�s a girl to do when caught between a rock and a hard place? The �hard place� is losing the use of her beloved car, and the �rock� is her immovable dad. In order to regain driving privileges, Kim Peterson�s dad talks her into writing an advice column for teens in his newspaper. Kim reluctantly agrees and writes under a pen name. But as she reads letters from peers and friends, she becomes keenly aware of two things: (1) Some kids have it way worse than her, and (2) she does not have all the answers! Who can she turn to? Thursday, September 1 I�ve been saving for my own car, but my parents decided that I can only get a car if I keep a clean driving record. That means absolutely NO tickets�period�nada. And the policeman said he�d clocked me going 72 in a 55 mile zone. Oops. When Kim Peterson gets a speeding ticket, her dad offers her a way to retain her driving privileges. If she�ll write the anonymous teen advice column for his newspaper, she can still get a car. So Kim becomes �Jamie� of �Just Ask Jamie.� No big deal, she thinks. She answers letters about stuff that�s everyday and stuff that�s not: parents, piercings, dating, drugs, depression, and people who are just users. Nothing Kim can�t handle. But when a classmate is killed, the letters turn to questions about life, death, and what it all means. And Kim starts to wonder if she really does have all the answers�and if not, where to find them. The Christian faith of her adoptive family? The Buddhism of her Korean heritage? Who can she turn to�to just ask? Story Behind the Book �My teenage years remain vivid in my mind. It was a turbulent time full of sharp contrasts�love and hate, pain and pleasure, trust and doubt. Then, just as I reached my peak of questioning, rebelling, and seeking, I found God. And I found Him in a really big way! My life turned completely around and has, thankfully, never turned back. Hopefully this story will touch and change hearts�speaking to teen girls right where they live, reminding readers that God is alive and well and ready to be intimately involved in their lives right now! � From the Trade Paperback edition.
