When Amber and Lucy suddenly bonds together at a party, Amber's life will not be the same as before.

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.
