If All Else Fails (Five Pillar)

By Theresa Mae and Maes Theresa

Facing life choices while growing up is hard enough. Doing it all while figuring out if God exists-well, that's just Ruby's luck. Eighteen-year-old Ruby is no typical high school senior. After years of struggling with her single mom to keep food on the table, their nomad lifestyle has worn her tiny family thin. When her mom finds a solid job, stability roots Ruby into a small Ohio town, where she lands her first real boyfriend. In an effort of maintain a perfect GPA, Ruby pairs with a Muslim girl named Layla for a world religion project. As she learns about Islam, her Agnostic views are put to the test. And as her friendship with Layla grows, Ruby learns something that promises to break her heart. Between study sessions and dealing with her over protective mother, Ruby's dating life takes a turn for the serious. After six months of swooning over her boyfriend's charming smile, her 'true love waits' ring begins to feel more like a rusty piece of scrap metal than the sweet sixteen gift her mother gave her. Still, she's determined not to make the same mistakes her mom did-if only it were that easy. In IF ALL ELSE FAILS, Theresa Mae weaves a fresh, new outlook on the life of a typical teenage girl, who not only discovers the power of faith, but also the importance of family and friendship along the unpredictable road called life.
