In today's world, it takes a whole lot of courage to stand up for what's good."Let me introduce myself. My name is Ed Marlow, and I am what fathers have nightmares about and what causes adults to cringe when we are around. I know everything about everything, and I am not afraid to tell you so. I am a teenager. The only two things in this world that scare me are acne: those pimples will kill your ego, and teenage girls."For all of his bravado, fourteen-year-old, inner-city kid Eddie Marlow stands above most teens his age. As he enters a new school and moves into a new neighborhood, he finds himself confronting daily challenges. But nothing quite prepares him for meeting Mindy, the frostbite queen. Now all the principles and virtues he has been taught will come to bear on the choices he makes. Whether he's dealing with school or church responsibilities, enemies or friends, or the uncharted waters presented by the opposite sex, there's nothing like real love to test a kid.
