Worth the Wait by Laura Jackson
Laura Jackson is our guest. Laura loves
books---reading and writing them. A life-long reader, Laura studied English in
college and taught 7th grade language arts before earning her Master's
degree and becoming a school librarian. Now, she spends her days sharing
great books with kids and her evenings writing books about teenage girls discovering God
and His plan for their lives.
What fun or unique things can you tell
us about yourself?
I
am a HUGE Houston Rockets fan!
I
ate an ice cream filled cupcake at the Houston Rodeo Saturday, and it may be
one of the best things I’ve ever had in my life.
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not
writing?
I
love watching sports, reading, hanging out with my family/friends. To be
honest, working all day as a school librarian and writing at night keeps me
busy.
If you could have dinner with one person from today
or history (except Jesus), who would it be? Why?
My dad. He passed
away three years ago, and I miss him. I have so much to tell him.
Please tell us about Worth the Wait.
Ellie
Lansing has a picture-perfect life with a close-knit family and the perfect
boyfriend. But her world is suddenly knocked off center when her drool-worthy
boyfriend cheats and her always-has-it-together mother is diagnosed with
cancer. Ellie doesn't get it. She always does the right thing--doesn't God owe
her a happy life? Through her heartache, Ellie learns that sometimes what seems
like the end is really just the beginning and that what God has for us is
always worth the wait.
What
takeaway value do you hope your readers receive after reading this book?
I
hope they know that what God has planned for them is more amazing than any plan
they have. It may not be what we wanted or expected, but it’s what we need. And
it’s worth the wait.
Please tell our readers
where they can get your book.
Available as eBook or paperback.
Please tell our readers
where they can find you online.
