This Can’t Be Goodbye
This book was written for my granddaughter
A soul-searching teen puts faith, hope and love to the test…
Popular girl, Nikkie, seems to have it all—a good home life, constantly surrounded by friends and envied as a star soccer player for her high school team. She also has a major crush on Ralph—a musician, songwriter, and school nerd. Ralph is also deeply converted in his Christian faith and loves sharing his beliefs with Nikkie…although she dismisses his efforts. Different in every way, yet the two are inseparable.
Suddenly Nikkie’s parents drop a bombshell; her dad loses his job, and the family must move. Devastated to leave friends—and her entire life behind in the city—Nikkie relocates with her family to a small town in Arizona. But she misses one thing from her old life. Nikkie’s heart aches, not for her popularity status, but for Ralph and his messages of hope. She sets out on a journey—putting faith in God—and discovers what happiness truly means.
