Prologue

Once upon a time, in a world filled with tragedy and sadness, there were two people. One was a boy. He had been through his share of hardships, things that a person so young should never have to deal with. Sometimes he thought those hardships would never end. But they did, and slowly, he was able to get over them.

The girl also had some troubles when she was younger; with an abusive father, she was sure no one would ever love her. She held onto her Christian faith, however, and was finally able to leave her father and her old life behind for college.

What happens when these two people, seemingly damaged beyond repair, meet?
