Tell me what's the perfect picture of young adults life nowadays. Would you say a countless number of friends? Going to a party every month? To be in a love relationship? To study and make money? If it's what you think it really is, you could call Melanie Hill a solitary.
At 22 years old, she still struggles with the society' "standards" for a woman of her age. However, it might change this time; new encounters and goals will transform her life forever. It's going to be a rollercoaster.
A discovery of the feeling to love for the first time, and to be loved. An uncommon devotion breaking the stereotypes. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." by Leo Buscaglia
This is going to be a long journey, be prepared!
