Cross Country
Boys of Summer Book Three
He was on a journey of discovery and healing…
Since losing his mother four years ago, Eric Van der Haas has spent two weeks with his brother. This summer he finds himself thrown into an RV with said brother to deliver it across the country, joined by his best friend, Samantha, and his angry cousin, Brenda. Let the fighting begin.
The foursome faces miles of regrets, questions, and heartache, stretching across an entire country and half a decade. If God wants the Van der Haas family to heal, this is the place to do it. Or maybe they’ll all separate for good. Eric doesn’t care which happens, as long as this ridiculous summer finally ends.
Adventure, danger, romance… Welcome to the Boys of Summer, a contemporary Christian series for anyone who appreciates the challenges of stepping into adulthood.
Jill's Notes
- My son, who is also named Eric, designed the cover for this book.
- Eric Van der Haas shows up in this series as well as the Girls Aglow and Casa Flanigan series. Then he makes his way to St. Ninian’s for a cameo in Past the Shadowed Shore.
- Aaron Van der Haas, Eric’s older brother, disappears from my fiction world for a long time, but he returns for an epic duo novel called Border Crossing that takes place in both the Casa Flanigan and St. Ninian’s series.
- The road trip includes states I’ve visited, which is why their route is so strange.
- Every place the characters visit is a place I visited, mostly in my youth. I have no idea how accurate those memories are.
