A story of friendship, loss, growing up, faith, community and family. There’s something about teenagers coming together to do something for the community that I find really heartwarming. To have such a strong sense of justice and compassion for one’s own community and faith goes a long way. Added to that is a little bit of miscommunication between two long term friends (who have little crushes on each other) and grief of losing someone and you get a story which teaches you a lot about the importance of the people in your life.
