Finding Peace Series
Set in the fictional college town of Capstone Ridge. Here, a group of friends grow up together, discovering life and all the complications that go with it, learning how to accept themselves and the events in their lives.
Months after waking from a car accident that took everything David held dear, he's trying to settle into a new life at CRU. There's only one problem. Well, three, his roommates: Bobby, Chris and Austin. They want to experience life now that they're out from under their parents' watchful eyes, and for David to partake in the fun with them. David feels he's experienced enough life already and just wants to be left alone.
Bobby sees how David watches him, Chris and Austin. He's convinced their hard-ass roommate just needs a little nudge and David would open up. When Bobby comes back to the dorm unannounced, looking for an English paper for class, Bobby finds out why David's been holding them at arms length and becomes determined to help his roommate rejoin the world of the here and now. The only problem is: David has more secrets he doesn't want anyone to know about. NOTE: There are references to rape, and some graphic violence, in the story.
