Only the purest hearts break

May Adleys' life was never easy. A father consumed by rage. A mother defending her father who "don't mean no harm". May lived in constant fear. Fear of the outside. Fear of strangers. Fear of being known to others. She stayed out of sight from the town's people, her father forbidding her to leave the house. She was 5 when that happened, now at 18 May becomes curious of the outside world, especially after a certain farmer moves in to the abandoned cottage across the field from May's farm.
Andrew Harlan kept himself to himself, being raised in an abusive household he vowed to himself that he would never marry, never trap a woman in a loveless marriage, love he never knew how to show.
