WHAT WE KEEP IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT WILL STAY

Fifteen-year-old Angie didn’t used to think too much about God – until things started getting weird.  Like the statue of St Felix, her secret confidante, suddenly coming off his plinth and talking back at her. Like Angie’s mom, about to bust up her third marriage for no apparent reason. And weirdest of all, Jessie Francis, home from Afghanistan with his leg blown off and expected to fit back in at school. Does any of it make sense or is life always going to be as scrambled as the crazy peace sticker Angie sees from the ‘Untied Church of Dog’?

Against the advice of an increasingly vocal St Felix (who knows a thing or two about war), Angie finds herself falling for Jessie’s allure - a guy who’s been through so much more than regular high-school kids. But Jessie is battling some major demons, and as Angie starts losing control of the situation, she has to ask - can one person ever make things right for someone else?
