Beyond The Roses

To the outside world, my life is perfect.



I'm young and rich, and some may even say I'm beautiful. But I would give anything to be somebody else because after being extraordinary all my life, all I wish for is...silence.



My name is Lola Van Allen, and there's no easy way to say it, but...I'm dying.



When my doctors reveal all hope is lost, I decide to spend the time I have left sharing my experience at Strawberry Fields, a summer camp for terminally ill children. No matter my fate, I yearn to make a difference.



Things are quiet and slow-moving until I meet him.



Dr. Roman Archibald.



From the moment our lives entwine, he pushes me until breaking point. But for someone who has nothing left to lose, I push back twice as hard. Roman challenges me in ways I never imagined, revealing things aren't always what they seem.



This is my story...and how I got a second chance at life.
