Ricky is seventeen now. He realizes the church's stand on several issues. And he sees that they view that the only acceptable relationship is between a man and a woman.

Ricky and his family haven't been going to the church that long ...and he doesn't really know how to make friends, especially with girls.  But things always seem to have their way of working things out ...and he becomes friends with Tracie, a girl just two years younger than him.
