Publisher's Synopsis
Set in a small southern town, death, love, hurt, friendship and anger bond Rennillia Cantinelli, Scott Herterand, Emerson Roberts and Jackson Thomas while shaping the paths they will follow into adulthood. After a six year separation from her friends, Ren returns to the Roberts' house to start over. Caught between love, loyalty, friendship and restrained by obligations, these four discover the bond they formed long ago is not the only thing holding them together. Rennillia 1: Ren (Rennillia) makes bad decisions, she always has. After the death of her parents, she tried to lose herself in an unhealthy relationship. In a moment of clarity, she leaves. Still lost and without a home, she agrees to stay with her longtime friend Emerson. Emerson's love and compassion for her helps her through this difficult time. Rekindling a forgotten friendship with an old boyfriend, Jackson, Ren realizes how badly she hurt the people who cared about her the most. Ren's mind is set on her new path, until Hert, her oldest friend, steps back into her life. Caught up in feelings she never thought possible, she struggles between what she remembers and what is right in front of her now. Adjusting to her new life, Ren is bombarded by one issue after another. Upon their return from the hospital, Ren feels that something is not quite right. No matter how much they try to convince her otherwise, the secrets keep piling up and there are not enough answers to satisfy her curiosity. Her relationship with Emerson starts to suffer and when she comes close to losing Jackson, she starts to question even more. On top of everything else, Hert and the office seem to be at center of it all. 'There was some comfort in the realization that we were all horribly flawed.'
