Hello Fellow Readers,
I would like you to take a journey to the future, or should I say present, in the lives of "Stargirl" Susan Caraway and Leo Borlock. In this depiction of our favorite characters from Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl and Love, Stargirl, we venture to their present where they are young adults trying to survive and make ends meet. Somewhere in between their now separate lives, they each grow into successful individuals when suddenly, somehow, they meet in this big, yet small world. Perhaps it was the right time to meet, perhaps it is wrong timing...but it is now or never. Will they? Will they not? Is it too late for destined love?
I hope you will enjoy this journey as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Synopsis:
Twenty six year old Leo Borlock has grown up, or at least he thinks he has. He works in a newly popular NewComb Theatre in New York. He also has taken a lover,..his married boss Cassandra Bernhardt. Things seem a blur for Leo. He seems like he is drifting upon his life, not taking anything seriously. Until one day, when he was planning to secretly meet Cass at the library, he stumbled into some old newspapers. Walking over, he decides to look in the back of the newspaper, where ads and sales go,...where fillers go. He thinks of Stargirl, an old, yet important flame in his life who somehow always seems to be behind his mind almost every other minute of every single day. Then, he sees the name.
Susan Caraway. Leo Borlock is struck hard. His heart is heavy with wanting, with finding out where she is, how has she grown, what she has become. He discovers, too much of his dismay, that she also lives in New York; and in fact, she is a successful column writer for the National Geographic.
Should he confront her, should he not? Is it too late for destined love?
Time heals, but time also changes you.
