Product Description How do you know, at fifteen, what love and affection really mean? Ruth learned all too soon that love is commitment, and affection has a price. But who will ultimately make the commitment, and who will pay the price? At fifteen, Ruth thought she had her life planned out. That is until she met Luke, a charming new cadet from the local military school. After entering into a seemingly harmless teenage romance, Luke's possessive attitude and subtle remarks begin to undermine Ruth's confidence, sending her into an emotional tailspin. A beautiful young girl is suddenly lost in a grown-up world, trying desperately to hang on to a love she thought would last forever. Shattered dreams and hopeless tears become the bricks that build walls around Ruth; yet just below her broken heart, a beautiful vessel is being formed. Join Ruth on her wedding day, five years later, as her childhood friend helps her journey back to face the demons of her past. From the Inside Flap       Have you ever noticed how still and quiet the world seems when snow begins to fall? Snow absorbs sound, lowering noise over a landscape. The deafening screams of air become trapped between the snowflakes, reducing the vibration and movement causing it to become silent.      When the noise of condemnation, hopelessness, fear, and desperation reached its highest octave, snow fell. It's fragile, unique beauty poured from the sky, trapping the burden of a life altering decision, diminishing it's pressure. In the midst of this peaceful quiet, hope was birthed and a path of truth, comfort, and faith emerged.
