A few months ago,17 year old Julian Maxwell believed that nothing could disturb his paradise of a life. Until he finds out that his parents are getting divorced, and his 'beloved' father wants nothing to do with him and his mother anymore. Ever since Harper King's darling mother got in a tragic car accident when she was two, she's had to look after herself and her distant father alone, and to make sure her and her dad have somewhere to live, she's had to become an illegal street fighter to make money. But when she meets the new kid,she starts to question the decisions she's been forced to make. When Julian's mother moves them to the 'Grand City'' of Tauranga, life there's not as he expected. Nor are the people in it. Especially one in particular.

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. Hope Chamberlain, often referred to as the Mother Theresa of Meadow, has spent her life devoted to service, tradition, and the unshaken belief that goodness can mend whatever's broken. She leads her church's summer camp with a heart full of conviction and the belief that no soul is beyond saving. When Faith is forced to attend the same summer camp, their lives collide, and the two couldn't be more different. Hope wants to help Faith rediscover her religion--Faith just wants Hope to disappear. But as the girls' lives intertwine, what begins as resistance turns into a quiet, fragile connection that neither one of them expects. As the summer unfolds, both girls are forced to confront painful secrets, question their beliefs, and redefine what family and friendship truly mean. A poignant coming-of-age story about love, loss, and redemption. Hope and Faith explores the beauty of heartbreak, and how two opposites learn that healing sometimes begins in the most unexpected places.
