About the Book
Rachel Blum and Andy Landis are only eight years old when they meet late one night in an ER waiting room. Their encounter is brief - born with a congenital heart defect, Rachel is no stranger to the Miami hospital, but Andy is there only to treat a broken arm. They think they'll never meet again. Rachel will return home and grow up safe and sheltered by two doting parents who worry about their daughter's health. As the only child of a single mom, Andy will cook dinner for himself while his mother spends nights out on the town searching for a new husband, a father for her son. Rachel will have lots of friends and long for nothing. Andy will find solace in running and become the star of his track team. But over the years, their paths will continue to cross. And when they think of each other, it's simply as that great first love. But what if some first loves are meant to last?
