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.
