Acceleration Curve (North Georgia Days #11)

After twenty-plus years as an over-the-road truck driver, being away from home is nothing new to Brett Warren. However, since he married Sherry two years ago, and his daughter came to live with them, being away is a little harder to cope with. He and Sherry see fifteen year-old Emily growing up quickly, and they both wish they could find some way to be home a little more. Emily also has a lot on her plate these days. She will shortly begin her sophomore year of high school, and start learning to drive, as well. Add homework, karate classes, a boyfriend, youth group at church, and cooking,(one of her favorite things) and Emily is one busy girl.

Things are going well for Brad and Gloria Evans. Brad and his business partner are preparing to open their third supermarket. Gloria will soon start her eleventh year as a teacher at Thomson Christian Academy. They both look forward to early September, when their daughter and son-in-law will be home again for an extended visit.

Tony and Andrea Powell are in a new situation, as their adopted teen-aged daughter (Rhonda) wants to start dating and driving at the same time. As a police sergeant, Tony has seen accidents involving teenagers, and this greatly increases his concern for Rhonda's safety. The Powell's also gain a new canine member of the family, in spite of Andrea's doubts about this particular animal.

George Overby and Teresa Pruitt are wrestling with questions about their future. Can they put aside the events of the past and move ahead? Life goes on at a rapid pace for the North Georgia gang, with faith, family, and friends helping them keep it all together.
