From USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec comes an emotional, breathtakingly romantic new book about the power of first love and the promise of second chances. How much can a man take before he breaks? 1,843 days. That's how long I survived in that hellhole. They tried to break me, but I resisted. And I owe it all to the memory of warm summer nights, the scent of peaches, and the one woman who loved me more than I ever deserved to be loved. Now, I'll do anything to get back to her. Only Shelby Eubanks isn't the girl I left behind all those years ago. She's someone else, a stranger. My Shelby-my little green-eyed firecracker-would never give up her dreams, would never disappear into her mother's ambitions. But I won't give up on her. On us. I may be broken, and scarred, and not the man I used to be, but I will do whatever it takes to remind her of the story of us.

This book really drug me under. So much happened to these two. So many obstacles and curveballs and baggage. Everyone was trying to take them down. It was overwhelming at times.
I figured out a big part of the book early on and that just made the fall down harder. I cannot imagine surviving what Eli went through. Years of his life spent in a horribly painful type of limbo.
The story was not an easy one. It was horrible and bleak and required dedication to get through. At its heart it is a Romeo and Juliet-ish story. They were not supposed to meet or fall in love and so the world ripped them apart. Repeatedly.
