Shadows of Love

When Tiffany Long returns to her hometown of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, after being gone for sixteen years, the last thing she expects is to be reunited with an old friend and an old flame. Growing up with an overbearing, immoral father and an alcoholic mother does not provide Tiffany with a fairytale childhood. But when she meets Luke Silvers, she thinks she finally has something to live for. Her father, however, has other plans. When Tiffany graduates from high school, her father ships her off to Washington to live with her aunt and uncle. Determined to make the best of her less-than-desirable situation, Tiffany enrolls in college. When a burglar breaks into her aunt and uncle's home and rapes her one evening, Tiffany is distraught. After much prayer and support, Tiffany thinks she is finally getting over her nightmare. She even meets a man, Don Springer. Just as their relationship is getting serious, Tiffany finds out she is pregnant. Don is overly supportive and suddenly proposes. Tiffany, believing Don is the only man who will ever have her, she accepts. She decides to give the baby up for adoption and start married life with a clean slate. Soon after the wedding, Don shows his true colors, becoming both verbally and physically abusive. Fearing for her life, Tiffany leaves him. Her thoughts soon return to the son she gave up for adoption and the man she was forced to leave, Luke Silvers. A meeting in Maggie Valley provides Tiffany with an excuse to reunite with Luke. Although hesitant at first, the couple eventually picks up where they left off sixteen years earlier. Soon, however, painful secrets emerge from Shadows of Love. Is Tiffany and Luke's relationship strong enough to survive?
