"How could I have known the history and memories he hid behind those soft brown eyes? But then again, how could he have known what I hid behind mine?" When Sage Essex, a self-proclaimed unlovable girl, met a boy at church camp, she knew better than love at first sight. Instead, she expected something meaningless and superficial, a relationship designed only to boost self-esteem. But what she got instead forced her to ask herself difficult questions, face her demons, and ultimately changed the way she looked at the world. [Based on a true story]All Rights Reserved
