Regina Corelli was the girl next door. At fourteen she decided to marry her neighbor Nick Sturtevant who was almost five years older and ignorant of her intention. Reggie knew she had to be patient and play the long game. She felt, with luck, time was on her side. The age difference would diminish in importance as they grew older. She anticipated several other obstacles, but not the tragedy that occurred. Fools prattle about tomorrow; the wise refrain. They love as hard and fully as they can today. It is all they can do about tomorrow. This book contains frank discussions and descriptions of sexual activity. It is not intended for readers under 18 years of age.
