Armed with her two best friends, the sweet and shy, Olly Stone and the unshakable badass, Hunter Wilde, Kinsey Abbot is ready to take on High School.
The trio of best friends are inseparable, and the daydreaming farmgirl knows as long as she has them by her side, she can handle anything.
Or so she thought....
As the three of them grow older, they face everything from school and parental issues to peer pressure, and dating. Kinsey had hoped this would make them stronger, but as secret and not-so-secret crushes form, hearts are broken, and friendships are tested.
Choices, moments, and memories, some painful, some sweet, cannot be changed or erased. Instead, they all become the roots growing stronger year by year, shaping the future with shades of the past.
