At age fifteen, Jason Davids appears to have it all: high grades, popular friends, a beautiful girlfriend, and nearly any worldly thing that promises enjoyment at his disposal. Despite this, there is a persistent emptiness inside his heart. After failing to fill the void with achievements, relationships, and illicit substances, Jason finds himself intrigued by Jessie: a rather quiet girl, who is the daughter of a local pastor. How is it possible that she stands for everything his lifestyle opposes yet possesses the one thing he has been searching for all along?

Stacy Padula, a native of Pembroke, Massachusetts, has accrued years of experience working with adolescents. She has been a mentor, life coach, youth group leader, and private educational consultant with extensive experience in the fields of college counseling, literature, and tutoring. She is the founder and president of South Shore College Consulting & Tutoring based in Plymouth, Massachusetts. She was featured in Who's Who Among American High School Students (2001), Cambridge Who's Who for Young Professionals (2009), Marquis Who's Who in America (2018), and Marquis Who's Who in the World (2018). She was also awarded the Albert Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. In 2016, Stacy was selected as a featured author for Barnes & Nobles' Teen Book Festival, where she signed copies of her novels and interacted with young adult readers. She wrote the Montgomery Lake High books in the hopes of preparing teens to face the "war zone" that is high school--to help kids deal with social issues and to encourage them to "abstain from substance abuse, find their purpose, and not fall for the false promises of the world."
