Keep the Faith — Laura Peyton Roberts

Eight Prime is this close to buying a school bus for needy kids. They ought to be ecstatic. And they are--kind of. Nicole couldn't wait to have weekends to herself...but now she realizes how empty her life really is. Not only is Miguel mad at Leah for spying on him, he's freaking out over his mom's impending kidney transplant...and a promise he made in a desperate moment. Happy holidays for Melanie? Yeah, right. This year she's putting on a brave face: Amy, one of the underprivileged kids Peter introduced her to, is her houseguest! Ben can't stand watching his new friends drift apart, and Jesse can't believe his bad luck--his fund-raising days may be almost through, but his football coach has given him his toughest charity assignment yet. And Jenna still can't get over the fact that she kissed, well, him! Maybe achieving their goal isn't the end...just the beginning of everything else.
