Anyone would agree he has it all … a great career, a beautiful and loving fiancÃ©e, and a fairy tale life ahead of him—when memories of a high school girlfriend begin to torment him.  Lost innocence and one very difficult choice flood his conscience, and he is no longer sure what the future will bring except for this: He must find his old love and make amends.  Haunted by the past and confused about the future, he turns to God seeking forgiveness and redemption.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Brad Cutler, twenty-eight, is a rising star at his New York ad agency, about to marry the girl of his dreams. Anyone would agree he has it all â€¦ a great career, a beautiful and loving fiancÃƒÂ©e, and a fairy tale life ahead of himâ€”when memories of a high school girlfriend begin to torment him.  Lost innocence and one very difficult choice flood his conscience, and he is no longer sure what the future will bring except for this: He must find his old love and make amends.  Haunted by the past and confused about the future, he turns to God seeking forgiveness and redemption.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The topic of dealing with an abortion 10 years after the fact was too emotionally draining for me.  I can not imagine being in that situation, living with the grief and those emotions and also trying to move one.  That's a loaded plot, for sure!<br/><br/>The book was well written like all of this ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76609827">more...</a>]]></body>

Spoiled rich girl, still living on Daddy's money, not holding down a job (but kept extremely busy 3 days a week doing charity work).  I just couldn't relate!!]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Brad Cutler, twenty-eight, is a rising star at his New York ad agency, about to marry the girl of his dreams. Anyone would agree he has it all â€¦ a great career, a beautiful and loving fiancÃƒÂ©e, and a fairy tale life ahead of himâ€”when memories of a high school girlfriend begin to torment him.  Lost innocence and one very difficult choice flood his conscience, and he is no longer sure what the future will bring except for this: He must find his old love and make amends.  Haunted by the past and confused about the future, he turns to God seeking forgiveness and redemption.]]>
