Faith fell hard and fast for her very first boyfriend. Then, she made a mistake and fell out of grace ... the grace of her family, that is, but she never really fell out of GRACE. Now, cast out and all alone, she discovers that she has a friend that sticks closer than a brother. **She learned: Faith takes a beating but real faith does not change. It doesn't depend on what you see, what you hear, or what you feel. Hope falters but faith remains. Where there is no hope, there is only despair. Where there is faith, there is life.
