Girl About Town: On Tour With O-Town is a true story. Krista Richards was hired to go on tour with the boy band O-Town. When Jacob hurt his back, Krista traveled with O-Town to give medical assistance and perform ultrasound treatments on Jacob until he was well enough to perform again. Krista is a certified medical assistant and she and Jacob grew up together in San Diego.
Everyday until her adventure came to a close, Krista wrote about her experience in her personal journal. With dates, times, places, and inspirational quotes, Krista takes you with her as she explores the "celebrity" world. Her stories share the prospects and perils of love and the many pitfalls of pride.
Krista's remarkable experience began with deep personal despair, but divine intervention marked the beginning of her new life. First stop: New York City, where life is unfamiliar, intriguing and strangely ideal. From New York, Krista began her travels on the bus with O-Town for their Summer 2001 concert tour of the United States and Canada.
Surrounded by the beauty of the passing countryside and the company of celebrities, the author relives each day and each new discovery on the pages of her diary. She invites her readers to join her and the band on photo shoots, at concerts and rehearsals, on the tour bus, at parties, and during precious free time when she would just be "kickin' it" with the guys.
During the course of her adventure, Krista learns more about herself than ever before. Little did she realize that while working for and helping Jacob heal from his back injury, God was working on her. Just the right combination of making new friends, learning about love, seeing new things and discovering her true self helped Krista Richards begin a "new" life.
Learn how working with five members of the opposite sex was more like gaining five brothers. Krista and the boys from O-Town became fast, close friends, and their many antics make for a very funny story told through the eyes of "the only girl on the bus."
The special bonds she formed with each one helped Krista grow and learn to appreciate the unexpected twists of life and how to handle the pressures that come from simply being a young woman. The author learns the importance of leaving the past behind, swallowing pride and that being in love with someone is not a mistake.
