Description
Angry and bitter about her parent's divorce, sixteen-year-old Faith Everett isn't pleased when her mother packs up their lives and moves them to the small town of Meadow. Faith has a bone to pick with the world and prefers to stay away from the company of others. She has her reasons, but she's not about to share them with anyone. She prefers her solitude, alone in her room with a bottle of alcohol to numb her sorrows. Hope Chamberlain, minister's daughter and often referred to as the Mother Theresa of Meadow, spends her free time helping people and doing whatever she can for the community. Hope is a devout Protestant who runs the church summer camp each year. She's been with her boyfriend, Matthew, since they were fourteen and they plan to get married as soon as they turn eighteen. When Faith's mom enrolls her in the church summer camp, she crosses paths with Hope, and the two could not be more opposite. Hope wants to help Faith find her love of religion. Faith just wants Hope to disappear. But it doesn't take long for them to both discover something that will completely change their lives. In this coming-of-age tale, we learn about love, loss, friendship, family, and just how much your heart can really break.
