Painting Saints

Those we love the most may not be all that we think they are. 17-year-old Katie Jane Alonzo is no longer picking up her watercolor brushes. She stored away her canvases. Her mother had died senselessly in a car accident. Katie Jane knows her mom is terrified of being in cars - so why wasn't she wearing her seatbelt? And who was the man driving the car? Caleb is 18 years old and homeless. Actually, he has a home but will never go back there.
Instead, he'll earn his money by playing his trumpet on NYC streets. When he stumbles (literally) into an art gallery and meets a lonely aspiring painter, his world will never be the same. Until the things he's running from and running towards come colliding all at once. Two decades ago, in the late nineties, teenage Filipino immigrant Michael Alonzo meets the stunning Natalie Rose. But there's more to her that he can handle.
