Lissa Beresford is a young woman from an apparently upstanding family but she has a dark secret. Remy Brice is a young man who has had a rough beginning in life. He's been struggling to better himself for nearly a decade now. He and Lissa were once paired as a "married couple" in a class called Life Skills in high school. Out of school for three years, Lissa suddenly breaks down in front of Remy, spilling her terrible secret and setting them on a journey that will test the life skills they learned in school as they struggle to forge a life together while tackling issues similar to those they received as Life Challenges in class. Remy didn't exactly apply himself in class but he is the only one Lissa has whom she can rely on now. Will friendship, trust and love be enough to hold them together as life throws one challenge after another in their path? Remy has a few issues of his own, however, he is determined not to lose the only girl he has ever loved. He is going to have to apply all the life skills that he has acquired, and so will Lissa, as they follow the rocky road that will lead them toward their happily ever after.
