Paradise
We're more than one night or hasty goodbyes...
In 1979, I was seventeen, and I'd never broken a rule until I met Miguel while vacationing in Mexico. He played guitar; I wrote stories. For one magical week I lied to my parents just to be near him.
He wrote me a song. I gave him my heart, but everything shattered on my last night in Paradise.
Twelve years later, I've learned to live without a heart, my writing dreams buried in a dusty drawer. Then I hear it—our song—playing on the radio.
It's like a love letter sent across time, but everything has changed. He's now a famous rockstar, and I'm not the starry-eyed girl he once knew. Is this our second chance, or are some memories better left in the past?
Set in the dual timelines of 1979 and 1992, Paradise is a nostalgic journey through Lizzy and Miguel's sweet romance and their emotional path to rediscovering their dreams – and each other – as adults.

Can you follow your dreams? Title. A story that is told in different decades. The tale bounces between 1979 and early 1990’s. The characters come to life thru their connection at a resort in Mexico. It is shared what happened then and the effect it had on her life. Little is known about the man in the picture but it is revealed as the story progresses. It is not a hard storyline to follow but there is sadness and frustration as well as anger at some circumstances or situation that must be endured. Without giving anything away, this is a story not to be missed.
