Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

No one is more surprised than seventeen-year-old Jentry when she discovers that she is the daughter of Peter Baylor. Through a series of significant events, Peter unexpectedly gains full custody of Jentry. Belittled and traumatized by her family of origin, Jentry begins a journey of self-discovery. Coming from a unique subculture of rigid religious and parental restrictions, Jentry’s reaction to certain events and the unusual way in which she relates to society around her leads to discomfort, misunderstandings, and sometimes humorous situations. Peter, her father, and Anna, his wife, do their best to help Jentry accept the drastic changes in her life. Part of the equation is Asa Roberts, a close friend of Peter’s. Jentry has her first man crush despite his age. Also, Jentry finds solace and understanding in a group of newly acquired friends. Peter, her father, and Anna, his wife, come to understand as Jentry titters between youth and maturity that she will never be a normal teenager; instead, she offers to all who know her a fresh perspective on life. It is during this realization that Jentry immerges as a well-developed young woman graced with a sense of belonging. Pete holds his own deep and painful secret that results in a resolution as he comes to understand that there isn’t any clear-cut answers when it comes to the dance between parent and child. Finding Jentry closes with a lead-in to the next book in the series, called Being Jentry.
