A Beach House Story
This is a fictional, coming of age story. A good friend and mentor shared it with me and I wrote it with the goal of sharing some of the lessons he learned long ago. I tried to keep it as close to the true story as possible without compromising the identities of anyone in it. This story tells the first week of relationships that have grown stronger over the years. / (Reviews)
