But I Love Him

Sometimes at night, I wake up and stare at the heart for hours I think of how I collected each piece from the beach, how I glued it all together into one big sculpture I wonder if Connor realizes what it means, that he ll always have a piece of me no matter what happens Each piece of glass is another piece of myself that I gave to him.It s too bad I didn t keep any pieces for myself.At the beginning of senior year, Ann was a smiling, straight A student and track star with friends and a future Then she met a haunted young man named Connor Only she can heal his emotional scars only he could make her feel so loved and needed Ann can t recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act Just one mistake could trigger Connor s rage, a senseless storm of cruel words and violence damaging everything and everyone in its path.This evocative slideshow of flashbacks reveals a heartbreaking story of love gone terribly wrong.
