Becoming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997722708)

Some first loves never really leave us. They simply become part of who we are.

Naomi grows up between two worlds-her life in Virginia and the North Carolina summers that give her family, belonging, and eventually Liam.

What begins with a phone call becomes the kind of young love neither of them is old enough to fully understand. They spend hours talking about everything and nothing, imagining marriage, children, careers, and a future they are certain will belong to them.

But growing up changes everything.

Military orders take Naomi across an ocean. Rumors and insecurity create distance. New relationships begin. Dreams get bigger. And when Naomi and Liam finally find their way back to one another, one unforgettable summer leaves Naomi carrying something Liam will never know.

As the years become decades, Naomi and Liam build extraordinary lives apart-careers, marriages, families, accomplishments-yet neither completely forgets the person who knew them before they became who the world would eventually see.

Because some love stories aren't only about finding your way back to someone.

They're about discovering who you became along the way.

Becoming is Book One of The Love That Never Left, an emotional three-book series about first love, family, distance, misunderstanding, ambition, memory, and the things two people never learned to say.
