A literary tour de force! Valletta delivers a powerful debut New Adult and College Romance unlike any ever written before. Tony Schiavone is a likable American boy struggling with friendships and a tumultuous relationship with his father. Spiritually empty, he yearns for something greater than his small Pennsylvania hometown can provide. Despite his father's objections, Tony decides to embark on a backpacking journey across Europe to find love and pursue his dream of becoming a writer. His travels lead him to the scenic northern shores of Ireland, where, after a long day of hiking, he arrives at a pub in Donegal on a wintry evening. There, he meets the beautiful Meaghan O’Malley, and they share an immediate attraction and intimate moments. However, Meaghan harbors a painful secret that she keeps hidden from those around her, while Tony contemplates continuing his journey. Can they find a way to spend more time together and explore their budding romance? Will Tony confront his past, and will Meaghan reveal the secret that haunts her? “An international delight! A gripping contemporary saga of a young man’s journey into a young woman’s world.”
