The First and Last Everything

At sixteen, Ellen Landis dreams of her first kiss. Under the watchful eye of overbearing parents Ellen heads out of town with her dad for another summer of work. While her friends are enjoying sunny days at the country club pool, Ellen is doing as she's told and following the rules, that is, until she meets Brink.

Struggling to keep a roof over their heads Brink does what he can to keep his family intact. With a strong affection for booze, Brink's mom, Lori has all but given up on life. He's taken his younger sister, Dee, under his wing, careful to protect her from the hand life's dealt them. He never dreamed that falling in love would change not only his life, but the lives of everyone around him. One summer of working on the New River is about to change everything and those that are impacted will be changed forever.

Perfect for fans of The Notebook (Nicholas Sparks) and Sophie & Carter (Chelsea Fine).
