Emma Black is just your average pastor's daughter, a little quirky, a little shy, and very passionate about her friends and family. Over spring break of her senior year of high school, she flies to Florida to spend time with her ailing grandmother and wily grandfather. What she doesn't plan on, however, is meeting a handsome stranger who may or may not be her favorite musician incognito, or her matchmaking grandparents, who are determined to find a husband for her before school starts again. Along the way Emma will meet a persistent young gardener with a secret of his own, go on several adventures, and smuggle doughnut holes into a nursing home. It's a wild romp of everyday problems mixed with crazy relatives and drooling boxers. What's a girl to do? NOTE: Check out the sneak peek of the sequel - "My Freshman Year Fiasco" - included at the end! "MFYF" is now being posted in installments so check that out! (Yes, it still needs a cool cover. I'm working on it!) :)
