Into the Valley

Valley Shores, tranquil as can be, is a pleasant town to call home.However, 'tranquil' and 'pleasant' are not always enough to live a simple life.

However, all of the attention is beginning to wear thin. She wants nothing more than a companion who will look past her shallow and vain façade to appreciate her for who she really is.

Will she let that get in the way of her blossoming romance with her boyfriend?Brandon, under constant pressure to succeed, goes through life with a smile on his face, but is he truly as happy as he appears to be?

The only secret in her life is the one being kept from her. Her callous, mean-girl persona is based on a lie, but is her personality deeper than the malicious insults she spews? The only way these questions can be answered is to journey into the valley.
