It’s time for a new Saturday Spotlight theme! June’s theme is travel!

This week I am sharing There You’ll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones!

I love this book for many, many reasons, but one of my favorite parts of this book is that it takes place in Ireland. Ireland is definitely a place I want to travel to, and in this book, we follow Finely to Ireland as an exchange student. Here she works through her grief, explores the Irish countryside, and falls in love. It is a very moving book, and seeing Ireland in this way was amazing. The setting was absolutely beautiful and a lovely place for this story! If you have ever wanted to visit Ireland, this is the book to read!

Grief brought Finley to Ireland. Love will lead her home.

Finley Sinclair is not your typical eighteen year old. She’s witty, tough, and driven. With an upcoming interview at the Manhattan music conservatory, Finley needs to compose her audition piece. But her creativity disappeared with the death of her older brother, Will.

She decides to study abroad in Ireland so she can follow Will’s travel journal. It’s the place he felt closest to God, and she’s hopeful being there will help her make peace over losing him. So she agrees to an exchange program and boards the plane.

Beckett Rush, teen heartthrob and Hollywood bad boy, is flying to Ireland to finish filming his latest vampire movie. On the flight, he meets Finley. She’s the one girl who seems immune to his charm. Undeterred, Beckett convinces her to be his assistant in exchange for his help as a tour guide.

Once in Ireland, Finley starts to break down. The loss of her brother and the pressure of school, her audition, and whatever it is that is happening between her and Beckett, leads her to a new and dangerous vice. When is God going to show up for her in this emerald paradise?

Then she experiences something that radically changes her perspective on life. Could it be God convincing her that everything she’s been looking for has been with her all along?
