Breaking Free

Alexis Carson-Nichols has had what anyone would describe as an idyllic childhood. She has great parents, little brothers and sister that mean the world to her, and friends that are always there for her. As she graduates from high school and gets ready to go to college, she feels like she has the world at her fingertips. She can't wait to experience life as a young adult. Maybe even get a boyfriend…as long as her school comes first. What she doesn't expect is to meet Greer Henderson. Greer hasn't had a life anything like Alexis'. Sure, he's had the parents that loved him, but that was about it. He's never been understood or even tolerated. He's spent his life in a constant state of inner chaos and outer turmoil. See, Greer has Aspergers. When he finally gets up enough courage to take a few classes at his local college, he becomes lab partners with Alexis. He thinks she's the most beautiful person he's ever laid eyes on, but he knows she won't want anything to do with him. None of the kids ever do. But if there's one thing he's good at, it's science. As Alexis tries to break through Greer's tough exterior and understand his idiosyncrasies, she realizes that Greer may just be teaching her more than she could ever imagine, and changing her life in insurmountable ways. Can Alexis teach others how to love and accept Greer, even if he's different? And can Greer, through Alexis, realize that all of his dreams are within his reach and that he's worthy of love after all?
