BLURB:

We bring each other peace in our world of mayhem, just like the white bird that flies gracefully in the sky.

The only world they know is the one in the trailer park of Willowhart, West Virginia. Days are spent under those loblolly pine trees and dreaming about a brighter future. Nights are spent mending each other’s broken hearts, and sometimes, even the physical wounds have to be tended to.

But where they lost in wealth and a decent home, they won in companionship. Despite the odds, Callie Rae Montgomery and Brant Beckett have one person beside them who promises a different life beyond the hills.

At night, Brant listens outside the window of Callie’s trailer, waiting for the inevitable shouts and hollers. He may be younger and weaker than the man he’s up against, but Brant’s heart is twice as strong. It beats for two.

That’s the thing about a pair of doves—they never let the other fly alone.

But even some of the darkest places have pockets of light. As much heartache Callie Rae and Brant are forced to endure, they’re granted moments filled with smiles, laughter, and eventually raging teenage hormones.

Emotions begin to spiral. Typical banter grows heated. And before Callie and Brant know it, their lifelong friendship blossoms into something neither of them is prepared for.

That’s the thing about young love—it’s innocent and intense. Unraveling at lightning speed until it’s too much to bundle up and take with you.

Because sometimes, the side you’re on might just be too painful to keep.
