To say I loved this story is an understatement.  It's been  a week since I read it and it's still on my mind.  This is the story of Grey Amundsen.  She’s the daughter of a Baptist preacher from the South - a small town in Macon, Georgia (yep, been there!).  He is strict and shelters her from the “evil” of the world.  Grey is frustrated and feels trapped by her father’s beliefs.  Grey is a dancer and she loses her self in dance and self expression - but not without resistance from her father.  She has also discovered her passion for film.Grey then experiences a terrible loss.  The loss of the one person she felt closest to and the person whom she felt truly loved her.  There is this struggle between the sweet virginal Southern girl versus trying to find her true self and being happy.Growing up in the South myself and amongst a Christian family with strict values and beliefs, I related to her and some of her inner struggles.  I didn’t read any blurbs going into this book mainly because it’s Jasinda Wilder and I knew I would love it!  Also don't let this cover fool you.This is a beautifully written story that you won't want to put down.  Jasinda has such a way with details.  Then of course there is Dawson - ladies you will love Dawson.  There are some (one in particular - hee, hee) seriously smokin scenes involving Dawson.This is such a great book, incredible story about a young woman finding herself and pursuing greater dreams outside her small hometown in Georgia.  We definitely need more of Grey and Dawson!
