Salvaging Stephen — Jill Penrod

Stephen Valentino finds it's hard to go from homelessness to a life with eerily friendly guys who keep saying they want to help him. Staying with new acquaintances Matt Tucker and Tom Van der Haas for the summer, Stephen is in a new world, with a job, friends, and maybe even a girlfriend. But he isn't sure he can keep it, because Stephen has a secret, one that might cause his friends to walk away if he can't hide it, and he's pretty sure he can't hide it forever.Meanwhile, he attracts trouble at work; he can't figure out Amy, who has secrets of her own and won't let him into her life; and his past comes to call. That one hurts most of all, realizing he can't make a clean break from his old life. Instead, to protect everyone he cares about, he might have to leave his new life behind and go it alone. The guys tell him there's a God to help him out, but for now, Stephen feels like he's facing the world alone.Book Seven of the Boys of Summer series, romance and drama for Christian teens and the young at heart.
