Finding Angie

They say you never get over your first love, and Ryan never got over Angie. Their relationship was forbidden, cut short, and never permitted to develop. For twenty years, Ryan lived with the same unanswered question: What if? When he discovers where Angie might be, he drives from Oklahoma to Iowa. Although Scott, his childhood friend, protests, Ryan hopes for answers and perhaps a chance to pick up what was lost. Instead, he finds that life went on without him. Ryan's simple attempt to reconnect becomes far more complicated as he enters a new circle of people, new obligations, and the messy reality of the present. Desire, loyalty, doubt, and hope collide in ways he never expected, and refuse to settle into anything easy or familiar. Written with emotional immediacy and sharp attention to human behavior, Finding Angie pulls readers into a world that feels recognizably real. Emotionally charged and quietly relentless, it will stay with you long after the last page.
