Tia Mercury was a freshman in high school and had her first serious crush - on a senior who wouldn't touch her. At least not until she turned eighteen.
Clinton Daniels was not your everyday teenage boy, and because his tougher-than-nails father wouldn't let him forget it, Clinton became a loner. And learned to distrust everyone.
Until he met Tia. She was sweet, she was funny, and she knew nothing about good music. It was the nineteen-eighties for goodness sake - time to turn off that AM radio crap.
So, while Tia drooled over Clinton, he was busy making her mix-tapes. She was falling in love. He was ignoring his heart.
See, Clinton had a secret. But sharing it could cost him their friendship, and he was not willing to risk losing the only person he ever loved.
Love Me Anyway is a serious story that spans a decade. A tale about unconditional love and what two people are willing to look past to prove that love.
J.P. Grider is a New Adult and Young Adult author who is a sucker for a good love story - whether it's reading one or writing one. And when she's not reading or writing a fairy tale, she's living one.
Young awkward girl falls for a senior. He is the ultimate good guy with a rough home life who doesn't realize she is a freshman. Their age difference separates them for a time but the small town keeps them "in touch" with eachother for the next few years. Without revealing to much this book has death, family, abuse, Love, music, growing up, and the ultimate gift of life. It is a slow starter but if you stick with it you will be pleasantly surprised. We have this in the High School library and I will definitely be recommending it.
