Fat Caterpillars
Terry's Garden Prequel--A FREE Download

Terry never saw it coming…
Terry Kenton should have known, when he was eight and had triplet sisters, a crazy old neighbor in a big, spooky house, and a wild red-haired girl for a best friend, that his childhood would be less than normal. But God wanted him to learn a few things, rescue a few people, and touch everyone around him for decades to come, and none of that is easy. If he’d known ahead of time, he might have run…
Fat Caterpillars is the beginning of the Terry’s Garden series, the tale of the couple that started it all. Christian coming-of-age romance for teens and adults.
Jill's Notes
- This is the second novel I ever wrote, right after the Boys of Summer’s Courting the Clearwaters.
- Terry has a birth injury and spends much of the book using a cane.
- In the first draft Terry didn’t play baseball. I added the baseball scenes while visiting my sister, who was an army doc stationed in Hawaii. I remember writing the scenes by hand with a tropical breeze coming through her window… Oh. My. Great place to write.
- This book is in Kindle Unlimited.
