As rock 'n roll energizes their world and makes them believe in tomorrow, this story plays out the complexities of two people, and their choices of how to love, and not love each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e Author's Comment\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"My novel is about passion, longings, fears. It is about not knowing how to love but loving anyway. It is about social pressures. It is about letting love be whatever it is. It is about holding on and holding back. It is about games people play. It is about the interplay between love and fear. It is loud. It is urgent. It is young. It is frustrating. It has something to say about being alive.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eVivian\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e Praise for Naught's Had\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This isn't your everyday romance ... these are characters you won't soon forget.

No solution is ever given. We have it \"naught\" (as it were) - we'll just have to try to figure it out for ourselves.
