Jason Young grew up watching his father play basketball and hearing about his legacy. In high school, Robert Young led the Oak Lake Lions to victory in the North Carolina state championship. An injury in college kept him from playing professionally, but he never stopped loving the game.

Jason has inherited that same love-and he feels driven to succeed where his father couldn't. By the time he's a senior at Oak Lake High School, he has his entire life mapped out. He plans to win the state championships and go on to play basketball at Duke University. After that, he'll go pro and marry his high school girlfriend, Sarah. Sarah is so sure about Jason's future that she's all but planning the wedding!

On the outside, Jason looks supremely confident, but in reality he is slowly caving under the extreme pressure his father has heaped on him. Jason is expected to be the ultimate basketball star, but senior year provides several daunting tests for the seventeen-year-old. A devastating event and a surprising new passion cause him to question what he really wants from life and whose dreams he is fulfilling. Is he content to simply walk in his father's footsteps, or is there something else waiting for him after graduation?All Rights Reserved

Every Saint Needs a Sinner by _merrittking_

Jourdan Mathews has a secret, and she knows she needs to take this one to the grave. * * * Her life was never complicated: a college student with a close family, good friends, and a plan for her future as a doctor. Had that night had never happened, she might even have been called ordinary. But we're not made by ordinary moments. Now in her senior year, Jourdan is in freefall after a catalyzing summer that turned everything upside-down. Her friends know she's in trouble, and her parents hope they've done enough to save her, but Jourdan doesn't feel anything anymore. They say moving on happens slowly, but something needs to change fast before life moves on without her. Ryder Harris considers his life to be the farthest thing from "ordinary." He isn't just the kind-of-good basketball player that made him popular in high school. He is the kind-of-great that comes along once in a generation, a fact that has propelled him on a course which only attempts to reach for the stars. If you ask him, this isn't luck or special talent. No, Ryder Harris makes a point to focus himself, to remain undistracted. He's got priorities, and at the very top of his list is being drafted into the NBA. That dream is very close to becoming a reality his senior year, so close he can almost taste it. But the universe has a nasty habit of giving us what we need, not what we want. * * * part I - Jourdan & Ryder * * * Every Saint Needs a Sinner. Copyright. © May 2022. All Rights Reserved.
