For Kennedy, graduation day will most likely be the best day of
her high school years. Tormented by classmates, the time spent behind those
four walls has been next to impossible, and all Kennedy has wanted to do is
blend into the background and disappear. The only friend she has ever felt
connected to and could depend on is her horse, Brave. All of that changes the
day she meets Jesse Blake.
For Jesse, simply getting by has been his life for the past
few years. Bouncing from foster home to foster home, Jesse was easily
expendable and forgotten by the people who were supposed to care for him,
unless he was breaking the law. That is, until his latest crime spree sends him
away from the concrete jungle of Washington D.C. and to the sunny, small town
of Golden Springs. It’s there Jesse can’t escape the looks from everyone who
treat him like the delinquent he appears to be. All of that changes the day he
meets Kennedy McDowell.
In a chance meeting, Kennedy discovers her father’s newest
employee on the ranch is the criminal the entire school is talking about. It’s
this working relationship with Jesse that allows her to finally discover what
it’s truly like to have a friend she can talk to. It’s also how Jesse discovers
Kennedy is nothing like the other people in town. Together, they will learn
what it takes to finally Believe in Brave.
Hundreds of eyes turn as we leave my locker and head toward the
classroom. The beautiful criminal and the invisible wallflower walking side by
side as the whispers float through the air like fall leaves in the wind. With
every stride we take I can feel old wounds start to heal, and for the first
time I really don’t want to be invisible. Today, I was noticed and it wasn’t by
the other people in school. It was from the boy who’s melting my heart with
every flash of his smile and sound of his raspy voice. ~ Kennedy
