    About this ebook

    "Don't be someone who defines her life by someone else's death."

    Dee Dee DeMarco's brother, Alex, was funny, free-spirited and creative. He was also gay. Tormented by bullies, Alex killed himself on his 15th birthday.

    Two years later, and now in college, Dee Dee believes getting a summer job working with a college-prep program for disadvantaged high school students is a stroke of luck, until she discovers that the guy assigned to co-lead her group is Cameron Connelly, a star basketball player and one of the bullies who tormented her brother to death. How can Dee Dee possibly spend the entire summer working so closely with one of the boys she blames for her brother's death?

    AUTHOR'S NOTE: As a person who lost a loved one (my dad) to suicide this novel means a lot to me. The story is a romance, but it's also about the healing power of love. I think this is a little story with a lot of heart. I hope you think so, too!
