Sixteen-year-old Faith Everett, reeling from her parents' divorce, is angry at being uprooted to the quiet town of Meadow. Guarded and defiant, Faith resists connection, seeking solace in solitude and substances. Her pain is fiercely private-she refuses to let anyone, least of all her well-meaning mother, in. Hope Chamberlain, the minister's daughter, is known as Mother Theresa in Meadow. She's devoted to her faith and her community, and is always looking to make a difference. Hope's world revolves around service and tradition, and she leads the church's summer camp with unwavering optimism. When Faith is forced to attend church camp, her path crosses with Hope's, and the two could not be more opposite. Hope sees Faith as her newest mission; Faith wants nothing to do with Hope. But beneath their differences, an unexpected bond begins to form-one that pushes both girls to confront painful secrets, question their beliefs, and redefine what family and friendship truly mean. In this moving coming-of-age story, Hope and Faith learn that loving and losing, defiance and healing, are all part of growing up-and sometimes, the path to redemption begins where you least expect it.

(Book 5) *Complete* Wren grew up on the west coast, in a wealthy neighbourhood of Portland Oregon, she was not shy of attention, growing up with the famous Teddy Nomikos as one of her moms. She is fresh out of high school, leaving home for the first time, and leaving the hormonal house behind, two teenage sisters Olympia, 16, Josephine, 14, and a little brother, Bastion "Bash", 6 Teddy and Harper would cry when they dropped her off but Wren was literally up the road, at the university of Oregon, her adult life just beginning. College to Wren = Party, Girls, Party, Girls, with a side of majoring in psychology and soccer. Wren was all about that college party life, until someone a little older catches her eye, someone who she shouldn't try it with, but she couldn't help herself, she had confidence for days... and this young teacher, oof, she did something to her, what a surprise to find her at a gay club on a Friday night in the city... and to find she had no idea who she was?! What could possibly go wrong there. Millie Dawson was a young teacher, Twenty three years old, newly graduated with a masters degree and teaching her first year at the community college, whilst simultaneously assisting her mother Moira at the university in her speciality, psychology. Millie crammed so much into her learning and work life that she didn't much notice anyone around her, certainly not the beautiful girl sat in her mothers class, who she would have recognised as a student had she ever looked up long enough, and she could have then avoided the moment she stepped over the line and became inappropriate with a student. Wren was impossible, impossibly cute, driven, confident, funny, gorgeous and intent on making Millie fall for her, no matter how she tried to avoid it. Then there was Ava, Wrens ex from high school...who hadn't been able to quit thinking about her. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM OR ANY OTHER*
