Compared to the beautiful, outgoing Melody, Sutton Bran has always lived in her older sister's shadow as the shy, innocent girl. Even so, she happens to catch the attention of mysterious bad boy Colton Jones. He steals her first kiss one night at a party and sends her home thinking that her life is finally starting to fall into place... that is, until she arrives at her house to find that Melody has been killed in a drunk driving accident. Unable to deal with her grief, Sutton's life spirals out of control. But one guy thinks he has what it takes to show her there's still so much to live for. All she has to do is be a little rebellious.

Thoughts, words, and emotions fighting to be set free. (Poems about daily life, unrequited love, random things, battle of faith, and the ups and downs of being a human being.) May these entries encourage you to never give up, to keep on living, and to trust in God completely. I pray that through these written words, you'll realize that there's hope, even for the hopeless.

What would you do if you were left by your parents at 14 to fend for yourself? Or, had to hide from Child Services for the past 2 years? How about this, you also manage a comic book store that's plummeting? And the most popular guy at your school comes into said store and doesn't even know who you are? Ask Charlotte Bartowski, your typical nerdy nobody. When Brent Johnson hid in Charlotte's store, he set off a strange chain of events, including soccer, mean girls' attention, love, and of course, plenty of nerdiness.
