Our Journey #1

by Amy Ledbetter Blake, Coby McGuire

Emily O’Riley, an incredibly shy sophomore, is enjoying life. She adores her friends, family, job and sports. Her world begins to be altered as she finds herself daydreaming about a well known football star, Tyler Kane, whom she believes does not know her name. She is conflicted about talking about the changes she is facing with her caring father, an outgoing sister who is overly protective or her friends who are obsessed with boys. She tries to ignore the irritating feelings on her own but gets caught spacing out due to a childhood habit; a habit that gets her caught in awkward situations. Tyler Kane, an intense High school senior, is forced to make unwanted decisions regarding his future. His lack of experience with emotion and a complicated relationship with his father create a challenge to pursue the only thing he is sure he wants which is Emily O’Riley. Tyler has only known pleasure from pleasing others and longs for the unexplained emotional bond he has felt in Emily’s presence. Fueled by passion, and lust Emily and Tyler embark on a journey of discovery; not only with each other, but within themselves.
