Description
Billie is wealthy, popular and beautiful. Joey is a gawky poor teen, with personal and family issues resulting in low self concept and the victim of bullying. There is no way two people from such opposed backgrounds could find what they need in each other...or is there? This tale of love, loss, death and karma will take you through several boxes of tissues as you follow their journey. Will they make it? Will they beat all the odds? Even though very few young teenagers ever become life partners, maybe it could be possible.
It is all of life's experiences that make us who we are. All things good or bad form us and our relationships can create enemies or unbreakable bonds. As you age you will look back at the parts of your life and understand that. The older you get the shorter your life seems and all those formative events will be just a tick in time when you look back. This is an impassioned, extremely moving story about many of the things you have experienced in your own life or will eventually.
