Farewell, My Rose

Kristen Hightower is a southern belle living in a small town in Georgia. Her best friend, Serena, who'd lived with her since they were six months old, suddenly had to move away. She found it difficult to interact with the kids in her junior high and high school years. Living through her teenage years without her best friend would prove to be difficult. But she survived. Barely. Serena returned to her just in the nick of time.

Derek was a California kid brought up in Hollywood style. His parents thought he should live a normal life and decided to move to Georgia and experience the small community life. Coming into his own, he met and fell in love with Kristen. They were perfect for each other.

Kristen always felt something important was waiting for her. She was destined to do great things. Derek's decision would impact Kristen's pursuit of her future.

Growing up is hard and decisions made as a young person can alter your future. Dare to dream and never give up on your dreams. Never forget who you are and who you wanted to be.

Mothers' intuition never fails. Lessons continue to be taught and learned, long after we've left home. When life comes full circle and when the dreams you once had come true, the rosebud finally blossoms into a beautiful rose.
