The Blue Valley series is not your typical love story. It is a journey through one's past . . . maybe even a story resembling someone close to you. It's our story. Welcome to the college years . . . Love has not been easy for Tessa Ross and Lucas Links, but they have managed to overcome situations that so many others in their lives haven't. And through all of their difficulties, neither have ever denied the love they have for one another. But sometimes love isn't enough. What new joys, pains, and decisions will they make as they take their first steps into adulthood? This is love, not a fairy tale. Contains mature themes.
