First of the Batemen Family Series "Nobody Hugs Rod Green" is the story of Clare Bateman - a high school student thrust into new circumstances when she finds herself in the midst of a country town and a home with a distinctly different flavour from her own. Having never really considered that God would take a personal interest in her, she begins to unexpectedly yearn for the connection with God that her hosts, the Cairn family, so obviously display. While they bare the scars of past hurts, the Cairns emanate a real trust in their great God and embrace Clare within the family as a daughter. This becomes an irresistible force that challenges and entices Clare and provides the stage for the first of multiple, clear explanations of the gospel.Will God's Call on Clare's life make a difference as she faces classmates such as Rod Green, the tough school bully, and the beautiful but troubled Fleur Lester?And what should she do about her growing feelings for Philip Cairn, the young man who is so committed to God that he will put mission work and doing God's will about everything else?Could God's plan for Clare's life leave room for her dreams?
