Sylvester's Choice

Fifteen year old Sylvester Whitmeyer is a physically and verbally abused young man. He also has a brother who doesn't pay attention to him because of his stressful job. But Sylvester has needs and desires. His biggest need is to feel accepted. Which he doesn't. Not among his family. But his best friend introduces him to Julia, a girl from the other side of town who happens to be a Mexican. Sylvester despises her immediately. She, however is attracted to him right away. Despite his stand offish attitude toward her, she remains friends with him, especially when everyone else turns their back on him.
As his father's abuse escalates, so does Sylvester's bad decisions. His desire of acceptance is so great that he dabbles with drugs, alcohol and even the occasional pornography. But little does he know about the prayers on his behalf. The question now remains: will he continue on the path of self destruction? Or will he let Julia help heal his broken heart and his shattered spirit? What will his choice be?
