Luckily, he lives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which is in the middle of the desert, yet he yearns for the ocean and is determined to leave his hometown for a college on the coast. But his best friend, Maria, wants nothing more than to make a home in the desert, and Jake's mother encourages him to always play it safe. Yet there's nothing "safe" about Jake's future-not when he's attracted to Kenny Liu, swim team captain and rebel against conformity. And certainly not when he secretly applies to Miami University. Jake's life begins to outpace his small town's namesake, which doesn't make it any easier to come out to his mom, or Maria, or the world. But Jake is full of secrets, including the strange blue markings on his skin that low when in contact with water. What power will he find when he searches for his identity, and will he turn his back to the current or dive head first into the waves?

Our Friends of the Universe


Book Description

Historically and currently in the United States, childhood obesity has grown to epic proportions and is a deep concern. It has further been determined that this disorder involving excess body fat increases the risk of health problems such as diabetes, heart problems, hypertension, and even blindness. It has been pointed out that our diets, eating habits, and lack of exercise contribute to child and adult obesity. The extreme importance of this issue is the motivation for my humble efforts to illustrate in Our Friends of the Universe, how uniquely God designed the different parts of the universe to work together for our benefit. God has provided much of the nutrition we need to come directly from Mother Nature, and that is the reason for my choice of content in this book. I believe that both the educational information and the revelation of God's unique design of the universe are anointed to increase awareness to a few natural healthy food options that have a wealth of health benefits; health benefits that will give additional nutrition to all readers, and provide a stronger foundation for good health in children at an earlier age to last them a lifetime!
