Monroe Kirby came from the wealthy side of town, but that didn't protect her from her mother's drinking--or her mother's boyfriend. It was Cade who did that, on a long-ago hot September night, before he disappeared...along with a piece of her heart.

Will he and Monroe pick up where they left off and finally explore their mutual passion--or will the scars and secrets of the past divide them once more?

It is a basic fact of life that in order to be truly happy and fulfilled with another person, you must be truly happy and fulfilled on your own first. A good relationship can enhance life for sure, but it cannot take what is just "okay" and turn in into perfect.

Discover what is in you that you must do in order to bring joy into your own life."Refreshingly honest, ruefully witty and wise, Ford has also dug deep down and done the work she recommends. From her soul-searching sojourn, Amanda Ford brings back news that will empower all young women: "Love has nothing to do with another person; it is a condition of your own heart."
