Summer fun ahead! Or is it summer troubles?

Secret Sisters Tess and Erin are ready for a summer of new adventures and service. The first challenge—working as volunteers with the Vacation Bible School at the nearby Navajo Indian reservation—fills their lives with hard work and laughter. It also challenges them to grow in ways they never imagined possible.

While Erin ventures into unfamiliar territory as a leader, Tess decides to take a huge step of faith—one that has an unexpected impact back home. Meanwhile, the girls see their faith and friendship become deeper than ever during one incredible, fun-filled Indian Summer.

Book Eight in the Secret Sisters Series! Tess and Erin’s teacher planned the perfect wedding–but now something’s gone very wrong. Can the Secret Sisters save the day?

But when Tess and Erin discover their beloved teacher crying after school–and learn the reason why–they make up their minds to do even more.

At first, Tess’s idea seems like a good one…even when it involves “stretching” the truth a bit. But soon it becomes clear to the girls that there’s no such thing as a “helpful” white lie. Is there nothing they can do? Or can the Secret Sisters save the wedding flowers–and maybe the honeymoon–after all?

Determined to make things right, Tess decides to do one nice thing every day to get back on her mom’s good side. Unfortunately, things go from bad to worse when Tess makes another big mistake! How will she ever get her mom to forgive her now? With the help of her secret sister and a Native American story, however, Tess discovers that forgiveness isn’t something you earn–and that, despite all her blunders, maybe she really isn’t such a terrible mess after all.
