description: Senior Assignment: Our Hometown of Dewbridge I wish I could get her to see the girl I see. I wish I could make her understand the beauty that surrounds her. She’s the one I turn to when I lose my way. There’s a lot of uncertainties in my life, but she’s not one of them. ~ Journal Entry by Rylan Tucker. Our dirty little secrets are the fuel they live by to keep the home fires burning. With a church on every corner, we're likely to burn in hell. ~Journal Entry by Mattie Mackey This is supposed to be my year. The year I shine. He’ll come around. I know he will. He thinks he doesn’t love me, but I know better. Dewbridge, Mississippi is my town. It’s the town my dad works tirelessly to run, and I always get what I want. And what I want is Rylan Tucker. ~Journal Entry by Ladonna Miller I'll be that girl now, the girl that people whisper about and shake their heads at when they pass. I’ll be the statistic doomed to make our small town grow. ~Journal Entry by Darby Jones This town can’t seem to make up their mind about what’s appropriate or not. They can’t fit into the twentieth century. They shout their words of love and hospitality, but their hearts say something different. One man shouts it louder than the rest. I hate him, but I don’t want to because I’m in love with his daughter. ~Journal Entry by Thomas Ballerini It’s the town untouched by time. Until now. There’s a love story brewing that has the power to change everything, and I’m going to write it. ~ Journal Entry by Tad Roberts
