Why Does Growing Up Have to be so Painful?

I'm turning seventeen, been home-schooled ... up to now, have led a super- sheltered life. I am soooo ready to take a walk on the wild side this last summer before my senior year ... to do anything and everything that comes my way. Hi, I'm Luke. The parents are finally gone for two full weeks ... bring it on!

Hello South Florida Salt Life! Sun, Sea, Surfing, Partying, and Girls!

What? Sizzling summer adventures are coming to a screeching halt ... overnight things are spinning totally out of control! Now I have to battle and pray my way through a confusing maze of new responsibility, romance, a house fire, secrets, lies, and a night in a smelly jail cell ... with my face bloody and bruised! How did life get so messed up, so fast?

Will my twin Sara, and our friends step in at the eleventh hour ... or is it too late for me?

Take a walk on the wild side with me ... stay up all night reading.
