Always on the outside looking in, Alex is the kid everyone picks on. She isn't as pretty or as thin as the other girls, and they make sure that she knows that they don't want to play with her. She depends on the love of her father, her brother, and God in order to get by. To get through those tough times, she tries to look at the bright side and to focus on the times that make her happy. Her father, too, gives her advice: God will choose a path for you. She has always known that God would help her to find the right person to spend her life with, and she already knows who it will be: Steven-handsome, popular Steven. Alex longs to be loved by Steven; it has been her dream since grade school, when she first met him. Steven has the most beautiful smile Alex had ever seen. She has a kind heart and soul and wants to be accepted for who she was by others, even when they laugh at her. She grows up, living her life through good times and bad, but ultimately only finding happiness when she finally takes her father's advice to heart and counts on God to guide her through.
