author: Green, McCartney
description: Book 2 of Dandelions Never Die, the series. Twelve-year-old Caroline found a true friend when she found Toby. Even as a young teen, he recognizes the signs of abuse. For a brief moment in time he becomes her knight in shining armor. Caroline begs Toby to keep her secret and he swears he will, but when they are torn apart by circumstances beyond their control he breaks his silence. However, it's too little too late. Fifteen years later, Caro believes she has put her past behind her. Now a southern girl struggling to survive in the New York jungle, she steadfastly makes her way through each day, dealing with life's problems, including her lowlife landlord, the same way she deals with everything, without complaint, straightforward, one foot in front of the other. On the other hand, country music's most eligible bachelor, Toby Nash, doesn't even realize he's stopped believing in love, at least not the kind written about by poets. And then, he runs into his childhood friend in the most unlikely of places. Stunned to find the girl who's haunted him for fifteen years, he realizes why he's never found love. Vanquishing both old and new demons together, they learn about life, about sacrifice, about survival and eventually learn to believe in love again.
