Synopsis

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED to end up like this. But it did.When Theresa brings James to a party as her date, it's just for the night . . . and he knows that. But when everything goes horribly wrong, James drives his motorcycle off a cliff--and Theresa knows she's responsible for his death.Theresa tries to run away from the pain, becoming a new young woman with a whole new life. She meets people, of course, but she never really makes connections--she's too scared she'll hurt them, too. But what Theresa discovers is that you can try to run away from the pain--but you can never really run away from yourself. The only way out is through. This compelling tale of love and loss is about broken hearts--and how to begin to repair your own.From the Hardcover edition.
