Becca

By Dean Krystek

Just 18, Becca has already suffered the heartbreak of losing her first love, Alex, to a far-off war - a tragedy that she blames on her father. Now in an unfulfilling relationship with Greg, the son of one of her father's friends, Becca meets Josh, who reminds her of Alex, and her innocent flirtation ignites within her an unexpected love. Josh is a loner because he's "too dark for some and too light for others". The war has taken from him as well, as Josh reneged on his promise to join the Army with his best friend, and now feels guilty that he was unable to save his life. Becca is both troubled and excited about her feelings for Josh, yet she is uncertain what he feels for her. But when she discovers Greg's startling secret that ends their relationship, Becca is determined to convince Josh that she is the one for him - despite her unforgiving father who is angry that she is again involved with the "wrong kind", and Greg's fear that their break-up will draw attention to his hidden truth. And just when she feels she has Josh where she wants him, her life takes a sudden turn when she is given a devastating diagnosis, and Josh must go off to the same war that claimed Alex. As Becca battles her disease, Josh returns unexpectedly, though he is bears psychological scars that leave him unable to communicate. With her illness breaking her spirit, and Josh breaking her heart, Becca must summon the strength to win her war so that she can make sure Josh does not lose his.
