Product Description
That First Kiss and Other Stories

by Lisa Calderone-Stewart and Ed Kunzman

I can't believe that Alexis is in love with me--Peter T. Norrington! Wow! My heart races just thinking about her. Alexis is everything I've ever dreamt of--and more...
She's too pretty," my best friend, Isaac, keeps telling me. "She's just playing with you, Pete. When she finds someone better, she'll drop you like a wild pitch!"
"How do you know, Isaac?" I always challenge him, faking a confident smile and telling myself that he's just jealous. "Maybe she's stuck on me for good."


The characters in this collection of stories experience wonder and struggle, hurt and forgiveness, failure and success, and tears and laughter. You will enjoy them as wonderful stories about the joys and struggles of growing. And if you wish, they can serve as a starting point for searching out your own answers about life, God, and faith.

After every story in this book, you will find a set of questions to help you take a deeper look at yourself. The title of this set of questions is "Seeing Your Own Story." When you think about the issues and events in your own life that the stories reflect back to you, you can begin to see yourself in a new light and learn more about the unique person you are.

After the reflection questions is a section called "Seeing the Faith Story." This section is designed to help you make connections between what you are discovering about yourself and what it means to be a believer in God, a Christian, and a Catholic. The questions at the end of this section can help you view your own life through the eyes of faith.

This fiction book has 92 pages.
