Eleanor Fisher is a new student at New York University as a math major. She is well behaved, very well mannered, and consumed with her studies. If all goes well, she will soon be leaving to head to Europe for a semester to study abroad, since that has been her dream since she was a little girl, and since she has a four-point-oh she is allowed to go her freshman year. Both of her parents died four years ago in a horrific car accident with a semi truck, while she was in the car with them, her life was spared. Nightmares haunt her and any sleep is minimal and wrestles, and she tries to drown out her thoughts with endless study and reading. She often wakes up with screaming nightmares re-living the event. She is full of hidden secrets, some of which even her best friend Nate doesn’t know. Being an only child has never been easy for her and Nate is like a brother… or is he more? She fears her trip to Europe because he will not be there with her. But her fears are relieved when she finds comfort in a snobby, curly haired, young English boy from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire that just happens to go to the same university she is studying abroad at… can you guess who it is? Will he replace Nate? Will she even come back? Guess you’ll have to find out for yourself… wont you?
