Deep Secrets and Hope: Book Six Man-Shik "Manny" Park, grandson of strict Korean immigrants, is trying to protect his friend Jim Frankel from bullies who don't think Jim should be allowed to live in Ludington, Michigan, let alone have any friends. Manny is determined to stand by Jim, even if Jim isn't willing to defend himself. But Jim's problems aren't the only ones facing Manny. Against his parents' wishes, Manny yearns to be an artist. He's also more attracted to guys than girls, and he's asexual. Only Jim knows these secrets, and Manny knows a few of Jim's too. Bonded by their shared confidences, Manny supports Jim after he's accused of sending explicit Facebook messages to middle school girls, including Manny's sister. While Manny sets out to prove Jim's innocence, things go from bad to worse. Soon after the incident, Manny and Jim receive intimidating messages, and Jim is put in danger. To help his friend, Manny risks everything to try to learn who's behind the threats and why they want to destroy Jim's life.
