By chance he hears her sing and is captivated by her song, but try as he might, he cannot get her to reveal her identity, and with his sight taken from him, all he can do is listen to her voice, wondering all the while if she is truly human, or merely a figment of his imagination. Who is she really and what could her great secret be, causing her to hide from him and the rest of the city?

One snowy night, Lily Matheson finds herself on the same road she took years ago when she left behind Westfall along with the boy she’d loved for years.

In the company of memories, in the town they knew as well as each other, and in a night when time is at a standstill, Lily and Adam discover that to some, your first love could be your last if you’re brave enough to find your way back. *** If you want to fall in love this fall, go check out the profile page for The Best Of Me where first love will be celebrated... http://www.wattpad.com/user/TheBestOfMeMovie ***
