Little Farm Down the Lane - Book Viii Bonnie Bedi Siegrist

As a teenager, peer pressure and an undue amount of interest in boys wreaks havoc on Bonnie's life. Sneaking around behind her parents' back, living a double life, she ends up in a frightening situation, which results in her returning to her Christian values. However, she still finds it difficult to know God's perfect will for her life. Is He calling her to be a missionary to Africa? Or does He have something totally different in mind? "Little Farm" books illustrate the joys and trials of growing up during the 1950s and 1960's while presenting Christian values in an entertaining format.
