Meredith Safford suffers from anxiety-attacks. And they are pretty bad. Despite that, she does have a 'safe spot' and it's where the sun shines the brightest, where the grass is the greenest, where it's softest, it was the only place that made her feel safe-until she finds out that place is also accompanied by the mean, cocky, arrogant, loved quarterback, Shawn Matson. How, how, how lovely. The two don't get along-obviously since Shawn's first words to her were pretty insulting. And it doesn't help the fact that he's been making endless, stupid, attempts to 'pick-up' Meredith. And as far as Meredith knows, Shawn is a self-absorbed, girl-trasher, jerk, who is incapable of loving anyone. He is. Isn't he? Soon Meredith's world takes a turn when her mother introduces her to Scott Christen who seems like the perfect prince charming. He's nice, kind, and sweet. He also obviously takes a liking to Meredith but is this all a charade to win her family wealth...or is it truly sincere? But here's the question: Which us, is that place in our hearts? Have fun in reading this so cliché story, but I mean, who doesn't like cliché's? Authors Note: Thank you for everyone who has taken the time to read my book!

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS AND LIVES Some scientists say that 1978 was the last year the world had it good. For the Castillo brothers, that couldn't be any truer. After 1978, their worlds went downhill almost instantly. Before you see how the boys have torn apart and had forks driven between them, you must first see how they got themselves into these situations and see the full picture of the lives affected by their young mistakes. Susan is a fifteen-year-old girl who's going nowhere fast, she is stuck in the pitiful dumps of her teen years until she meets Alejandro and suddenly, whether she knows it or not, her life will never be normal again. Alejandro is hot-headed, with a passion to box, but at the same time he's calm and collected, laughs easily and has a huge heart. Everyone around him knows he will be the first person to go professional as a boxing superstar, and soon enough he plans on giving Susan the life she deserves. But one way or another, his Susana will be his undoing. ----
