Racked with guilt and overcome with devastating loss over the death of his parents, Ash loss his love and drive to compete and be the top snowboarder. Where he was once a solid, reliable, fun loving and a kind of friend who was there for everyone, he's become just an empty shell of himself. So immersed in his guilt and pain, he blames himself for the accident that claimed his parents life and rendered his younger brother paralyzed for the rest of his life. He basically turned his back completely from his lifelong dreams and just pretty much spends his days working at a ski resort, sleeping around with different women while trying to survive the day to day living taking care of his paralyzed brother. At times I find  this is a heartbreaking story since it deals with death, loss and emotional turmoil.Tansy Hampton who had just been given the clean bill of health and is now a cancer survivor having been on remission for over ten years. Her new job's first assignment with Make-A-Wish Foundation takes her on assignment helping an ill child with cancer live out a dream by meeting the now "retired" great Ash Lewis. Tansy is such a young vibrant beautiful girl who is determined to see her mission through as Ash is to denying his self worth, how to convince Ash there's more to life than wallowing in self pity and guilt, has become a great challenge. Convincing Ash he has so much to give and that there are a lot of people who need him, will Ash learn to open up his heart, let go of the past and start living again.This is such a beautiful story that will gnaw at your heart, full of emotion but so touching it'll be hard to put it down.***** An ARC was provided by NetGalley *****
