Seventeen-year-old Feather Anne Byrd already knows what she wants to do with her life. In fact, she's known it for a long time... and she's never told a soul. Until now. She's loved Brandon since forever, and he loves her. They've even planned a future together - marriage, children, and a house with a white picket fence. But then Nick shows up with his guitar and bad boy good looks. Just when her dreams start to come true, the unimaginable happens, devastating not only her but the people she loves most in the world. Can this small-town girl leave it all behind for the lure of the big city and the call of her dreams? Or will love keep her tethered to the town she once despised?
