Shane Everything he does seems to work out wrong. He'’s failing his classes, about to be fired from his part-time job, and barely speaking to his parents. Then there’'s the real problem—--his twin brother... Sandy Everything he does seems to be right. He’'s a star athlete, student president, and parents'’ dream child, with top marks, a great future, and many good friends. He'’d never hang out with someone like... Marietta A real looker, she’'s Shane’s girl-friend, but since Shane'’s dad took away his car, she’'s been unhappy. Maybe Shane should take a second look at... Janice She'’s coming after Shane like a magnet to a fridge door. But is something fishy here? Just ask... Ernie He’'s a loner who claims to be Shane’'s only real friend. But will he hang in when the real trouble hits? What do you do when everything blows up in your face and you can’'t even trust your friends and family? How do you decide what you really want? Most important, how do you learn to trust yourself? Eighteen-year-old Shane Donahue can’'t relate to his twin brother or his parents, doesn'’t trust the guys he hangs out with or his girlfriend, and is failing his classes at school. The whole situation makes Shane feel so helpless he’'s considering life on the streets or suicide. Shane decides he has nothing to lose by asking God to help him try to get his life back on track, but his difficulties only increase. His father becomes angry when Shane goes to church, his friends attack him because they think he’'s turned on them, and his brother dates his ex-girlfriend! But that’s nothing compared to Shane’s being arrested for robbery and assault. However, in the midst of his troubles, Shane finds out who he is and discovers hope for the future. The book is based on Proverbs 17:17. "A friend helps at all times and a brother in time of trouble."
