Loved this book! We have a trend going here - Zeke was a trailer park kid, only cared about drugs, music & girls, and he found his salvation in sweet but emotionally & physically broken Patience. Now we have the lead singer of the Blow Hole Boys, Finn, & we go back in time to when he served community service at a church and met his salvation, Faith. Faith & Patience? Yep! Faith is abused by her pastor father who hasn't gotten the memo that we don't hurt our children these days. She sees something in Finn that attracts her to him, but even more so she is attracted to him physically which is a whole new territory for Faith. Finn is also from the wrong side of the tracks & has been in & out of foster care until he finally settled down with his current mother & they have developed a very special bond, especially now that she has been diagnosed with MS & needs his help. Finn is a lot like Zeke, sells drugs, plays around with girls but doesn't make serious commitments. But being around Faith makes him want to be a better man, to get a real job, stop selling drugs, no more sleeping around. Faith starts sneaking out at night, or Finn starts sneaking in her window, and they know what they have is true love. After a friend's car accident, Faith's father really freaks out & moves them to California, threatening to expose Finn's past & tear him away from his mother. So many misunderstandings occur & it is four years before Finn & Faith cross paths again. Finn is now a famous rock star & Faith is down and out, taking any kind of job she can get. Finn is really hurt & he is so cruel to Faith, but she holds it together so she can continue to support her family. Finn finally finds out the truth about their past by reading Faith's journal & they have their happy ending. I love how these boys who came from nothing just really want to give love & be loved in return, to have real families with a real future. So good!!
