The Tree House Paul Duerksen

Jill, at thirteen, was looking forward to a spring visit from her favorite cousins. But for the first time she was anticipating that because she'd turned the corner of puberty. And her older male cousin, Bill Thompson, was one handsome, desirable hunk! How does one navigate the difficult waters of family relationships when those relationships have changed or taken on a new dimension? Jill finds out the way to do that is by uniting around a common family project: repairing the tree house in her back yard. That, plus her discovery of faith in God, helps to give her a whole new outlook on life and her extended family, and find her way forward through the turbulent years of adolescence.
