One True Loves

Emma Blair can't wait to graduate so she can move away from her sister, her parents and their expectations of where her life should go. Jesse Lerner is in the same boat. When Emma and Jesse meet, it's fireworks and soon their journey towards freedom from life in their small town begins.

Life for Emma & Jesse is fast-paced, chaotic, adventurous and exciting...until one trip changes everything. The helicopter Jesse's on crashes while flying over the North Pacific, and he is believed to be dead. It takes everything Emma has and everyone who loves her to help her grieve and put her life back together.

Years later, she reunites with Sam Kemper, an old friend from high school, on an impromptu trip to the music store. Soon Emma and Sam are engaged and while she will always love Jesse, she has grieved, healed and is ready to move on. Until life decides to throw a wrench in that plan, and Jesse is found alive and he is coming back home...to her.

Man alive my heart during this book. It's easy to read this and judge Emma for what she is doing and not doing but no one knows what they would truly do if they were in the same situation. I love this author and the way she writes and reflects the heart. I had tears many times throughout this one. I loved all the characters and the growth they experienced. Sometimes the worst pain can bring about the best change.
