From Bad to Worse - Softcover

It?s a dangerous mix of freedom, confusion, joy, and attraction as Griffin Smith and his high school crush, Amanda Mac, make their way home from her college in Oregon. Along the way, they implement Amanda?s "Five Minutes of Truth" rule, and Griffin?s true feelings about God, his parents? divorce, and, especially, his feelings for Amanda begin to surface.

But fumbling their way back across the country isn?t the hardest part of the journey, despite a near-death experience and more than a few detours. Griffin's homecoming isn?t quite what he expected, as he is forced to confront his fractured family. And when a secret from his less-than-perfect life is revealed, Griffin finds himself doing damage control in more ways than one.
