***The powerful continuation of the story that
began in Reclaiming the Sand- a tale of love and forgiveness and learning to
over come a past that has come to define you.***
Bully and Victim
Friend and Lover
Past and Future
Ellie McCallum and Flynn Hendrick’s story was as
painful as it was devastating. But they
were able to find within each other an unlikely yet beautiful love. Despite the
obstacles that tried to keep them apart.
And together they rose out of the ashes of their
tragic history.
Now years after their life changing reunion Ellie
is back in Wellston, having just graduated from college and ready to start her
future with the man who taught her how to love. However, returning to a town
that held so much bitterness and anger was the last place she wanted to start
over.
But for Flynn, who is now an art professor at the
community college and firmly rooted in the place that gave them their
beginning, she’d do just about anything.
Yet it’s difficult building a life when you’ve
only just learned how to live.
And love,
no matter how strong, doesn’t always conquer all.
Ellie and
Flynn must learn how far they are willing to go to stay together. Or whether
the ghosts of the past will consume them both.
Because finding a happily ever after is harder
than it seems. Particularly when you’re fighting against the one thing that
could destroy you.
Yourself.
Bully and victim.
Tormenter and tormented.
Villain and hero.
Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to
anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come
to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making
others miserable.
Particularly Freaky Flynn.
Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely
disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with
Asperger's. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and
calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events
that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.
But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.
And moved on.
Until years later when their paths unexpectedly
cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more.
When labels come to define you, finding yourself
feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who
inexplicably find a connection in each other.
And out of the wreckage of their tragic
beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.
But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go.
And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run
from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.
