Lifers by Jane Harvey-Berrick

“I think,” I said slowly, “that meeting you has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me." - Jordan
Wow! Jane Harvey Berrick knows how to create a love story about two broken souls and make me tear up.

How can anyone continue living life after being in prison for 8 years? And the fact that he was only a young boy when he was sentenced broke my heart. All because of an accident that caused the life of another. It was heart breaking to watch Jordan be scared about every detail in his life. He was the social pariah and even if he did his time in prison, people still don't accept him.

Torrey was deemed the slut of the small town despite being the daughter of the reverend. She doesn't care either and she keeps everything real. She's a sassy firecracker that happens to be the only one who accepted Jordan. She's the best thing that happened to him for a long time. He was the angel that brought him back to life.

I’m not going to let him suffer anymore. What you do with your lives is up to you, but Jordan deserves better than that. And I’ll spend the rest of my life with him, making sure he knows he’s loved – and that’s he’s forgiven." - Torrey

In the end, the freedom that they both craved was given to them. Both of them went to find that happiness together.

“It’s not just that you accept me for who I am. You make me want to be more than I thought I could ever be.”
