The Farmers

When the court sends a black teen to live on the farm of an older, white couple, all three lives began to change. Isaac wants to stay out of trouble, but trouble seems to keep finding him anyway. As he struggles to stay true to his new-found faith, prejudice and city friends threaten to pull him back. When even his girlfriend won’t speak to him, he knows he needs to come up with a different plan than he’s been using. How can someone used to taking care of himself and his siblings learn to rely on God?

Jasmine Farmer can hardly contain her excitement as she finishes high school and begins college. She meets three young men who might be serious boyfriend material. Cameron is a great guy and her brother's best friend, but she feels no romantic spark when she's with him. Michael is so shy he's easily overlooked, and Reuben is charismatic but pushy and moody. When all three dates end up with their cars vandalized, Jasmine wonders what's happening. In the meantime, Isaac, her brother, is having his own set of problems. 

Knowing that he's about to be taken back into the foster care system, Kevin Jackson runs away to live on the streets. He sees himself as the outcast anyway, because his brother and sister are the perfect ones while he's always struggled. Things go well to start with, but he soon learns firsthand how dangerous the streets can be. Along the way, he has to confront his own prejudices, and he comes to realize he's had a distorted view in the past. Life is full of surprises, and Kevin will face his share of them as he moves into his future.
