Katie OBoyle has crafted a nicely thought out story of a young college student faced with a plethora of difficult situations when her full scholarship to college gets pulled back and she has to find ways to make ends meet. In steps a less than honorable college admin that takes advantage of her situation...and her. Her only way to face the depths of despair brought on by his abuse came from a bottle.Our hero Joel swoops in and wrangles her away from the mess, and takes legal action against the man who's abused Manda. He also finds her a place to live and gets things straightened out with the college.Stepping Up To Love is a story of recovery from alcoholism and abuse...and the birth of love from disaster. I enjoyed the story but would love to see deeper into the personalities of the characters. I often felt at arm's length from their inner thoughts and feelings.
