Two books in one! - My Heart's in Alabama (completed) & Love Letters from Louisiana (ongoing) Growing up in a small Alabama town, Matt Purdy has known one thing for sure; he's in love with the girl-next-door. Ever since they were six years old, Matt and Kiersten have stuck together like biscuits and gravy. They've always been friends, but Matt wants more. He's been in love with her for years but doesn't dare tell her. Confessing his feelings to her would mean risking a friendship that means everything to him and losing the one person he loves the most. Going into their sophomore year of high school, things start to change. For the first time, he's old enough to try out for the varsity football team. It's then that he realizes they aren't kids anymore. Homecoming dances, dating, and decisions about the future loom in the distance. He's at a crossroads and he's not sure what to do. Even in his confusion, he knows one thing for certain. Whether he chooses to confess his feelings or not, his friendship with Kiersten will be changed forever.
