Four high school students. Four different stories. One life-changing week at Encounter Camp.
Aspen acts like a good Christian around other people, but on the inside, she isn't feeling it. She doesn't want to admit it, but her spiritual life is a wreck, and she needs this week away to refocus her attention on Christ.
Israel's family has been burned by the church, so he got involved with a new one and invited his best friend along for the ride. This is his first year at camp, and he's not sure what to expect, but his life is about to get wrecked by the gospel.
Emory seems like an average teenager, but she has a secret that no one knows. She's not willing to share it with anyone because it's so big. When will she learn to trust and let go of her past? Will she ever feel "worthy enough" for God to love her?
Hosea has a firm foundation, being homeschooled and raised in church. But in the fall, he'll be leaving for college, his first time away from home for an extended period of time. He's scared, but he would never admit it. Disappointed with how his church treated Israel, he's been closed off to getting involved in ministry. Maybe this week is the encouraging reminder he needs that God is still working in his life.
Join these campers and others on their week-long adventure to realizing God's purpose in and for their lives.

❝Alia, I wanna try again. You and me. I've been thinking about you crazy and if we don't date I might just bust a gut.❞ ❝Well I don't want you to hurt yourself.❞ Alia smirked, leaning in. Alia Mendoza was Jesus's first real love-bright, artistic, and full of fire. But just as their connection began to deepen, Alia was abruptly pulled out of his life when her conservative parents forced her to move away, fearing her growing bond with the Foster family and Jesus's influence. What they didn't know was that the two never really stopped talking. For months, Jesus and Alia have secretly stayed in touch through late-night phone calls, private texts, and heartfelt video chats. So when Alia suddenly returns to town for her sophomore year-enrolling at Anchor Beach-Jesus sees it as their second chance. He's ready to pick up where they left off, only this time, he's determined to make it real: no more sneaking around, no more hiding. But love the second time around isn't so simple. Alia's home life is still tense, and her parents have strict expectations. Jesus is still recovering from his traumatic brain injury, struggling with impulse control, anger, and frustration-things he tries to hide from her. Mariana is suspicious, Stef and Lena are cautious, and Emma isn't exactly thrilled that Alia's back in the picture. As the past crashes into the present, Jesus and Alia must decide if their love can survive the complications that drove them apart in the first place.

Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Завершенная история
