Summary

Now a 2022 BookFest Award winning book and a Carolyn Contest Finalist

The past doesn't define us. Love does.

When high school principal, William Garrison, steps in to help a bullied freshman boy, he is surprised to learn that fifteen-year-old Ben is the son of his former high school nemesis, Benito "Benny" Vega.

William has mixed feelings about seeing Benny again, considering Benny was the one who used to torment and pick on William for being different. But Benny is a changed man, in more ways than one, and he wants the chance to prove to both his son and William that he's not the same guy he once was.

Can William be the bigger man and let go of his unresolved feelings toward Benny or will their shared personal history get in the way of helping Ben?

After all, love always wins, right?

Contains mature themes.
